Saahib Sharq Puri (Allaah have mercy on him) known as Saani Saahib
Qiblah, younger brother Shayr-e-Rabbaani A’laa Hazrat Miyaañ
Shayr Muhammad Saahib Sharq Puri (Allaah have mercy on him) (Silsilah
Aaliyah Naqsh Bandiyah Mujaddidiyyah).
Hazrat Miyaañ Shayr Muhammad Saahib Sharq Puri (Allaah have mercy
on him) had given the good news to Haaji Miyaan Karam Ilaahi about
the excellences and perfection of the honourable Maulana (Allaah
have mercy on him) before his birth. His parents had also viewed and
mentioned auspicious dreams.
Some particulars and services:
In early days of receiving education the honourable Maulana (Allaah
have mercy on him) along with his Peer-o-Murshid Hazrat Saani Saahib
Sharq Puri and other Scholars of Ahle Sunnat (Allaah have mercy on him)
participated with full zeal in the Movement of Pakistan and remained
active in it till the partition of India.
m In 1947 after migrating from India the honourable Maulana
(Allaah have mercy on him) came to Okara and with his father and built
Masjid Ghausiyah in the town of Okara. He also established Jaami’ah
Hanafiyah Ashraf-ul-Madaaris on G.T. road (Grand Trunk Road) and
remained as its mentor and one of the founders.
m The honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) received religious
education. On completion was awarded certificates for the courses of
Dars-e-Nizaami and Hadees-o-Tafseer from Shaiekh-ul-Hadees Wat-
Tafseer, Shaiekh-ul-Qur’aan Hazrat Allamah Maulana Ghulaam Ali
Saahib Ashrafi Okarvi and Shaiekh ul Hadees Wat-Tafseer Ghazaali-
e-Dauraan Hazrat Allamah Maulana Saiyyid Ahmad Sa’eed Saahib
Kaazimi (Allaah have mercy on them), of Madrassah Arabiyah Islaamiyah
Anwaar-ul-Uloom, Multan.
m The honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) started
addressing Friday prayers at Jaame Masjid Muhaajireen, Montgomery,
(Sahiwal), which attracted very large crowds. He remained as the
Head of the Islaamiyaat Section at Birla High School, Okara.
m 1952-53 the honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) took
active part in the Tahaffuz-e-Aqeedah-e-Khatm-e-Nubuwwat (The
Movement for the Protection of the Belief of the Finality of Prophet-
hood) only for the respect and sovereignty of Saiyyid-ul-‘Aalameen
(The Master of the Universes), Khatmi-e-Martabat (The Last
7 8
Prophet Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). He was an influential person
of the District Montgomery (Sahiwal) and Punjab. The Government
arrested him for his participation against the Qaadiyaani Movement.
He remained in Montgomery prison for 10 months. During this period
of imprisonment two of his sons Muneer Ahmad, 3 years old and
Tanveer Ahmad 15 months, died within a week. They were his first
two sons. Due to their death the condition of his family were very
distressed. Some influential people met the Deputy Commissioner
of Montgomery and made recommendations for him. The Deputy
Commissioner visited the prison, met the imprisoned people and
privately especially called the honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy
on him) and told him;
“Due to the sudden death of your children the condition of your
family is not good. I have received many recommendations for you.
You sign the letter of apology; our apology letter will be kept hidden
from the public and only today you will be released.”
The honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) replied;
“I have worked for the reverence and honour of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and it is my belief that the Holy Prophet
Saiyyidinaa Muhammad (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is the Last
Prophet of Allaah Almighty, therefore; the question of asking for an
apology does not even arise. The children have passed away; even
if my life is taken away then also I will still remain steadfast on my
belief and will not ask for any apology.”
On this reply the Government became very furious, and more
hardships were given to him. Therefore under Section 3, he was
kept in lockup. There were even more restrictions and strictness on
visitations etc., too. Till the end he tolerated all the troubles with
patience and steadfastness.
m During his stay in Okara the honourable Maulana (Allaah have
mercy on him) always prominently participated in holy, religious,
national, welfare and social activities.
m In the year 1955 due to immense persistence from the religious
circle of Karachi, he came to Karachi. And in 1956 he became the
Khateeb [Orator] and Imaam [Leader] of the biggest Central Masjid
of Karachi, the Memon Masjid (Bolton Market, M.A Jinnah Road)
Karachi. And till the end, all day and night with heart and soul he
remained busy in the preaching of the Deen [Islaam] and the Sunni
Path.
m After the Imaamat and Khitaabat of Memon Masjid, he performed
honourary obligations of Khitaabat and kept leading the Friday
prayers for nearly three years at Jaame Masjid Eidgah Maidaan. For
two years and four months at Jaame Masjid Aaram Bagh and for
twelve years at Noor Masjid near Jubilee Cinema. In each place there
would always be a huge crowd. In all these Masaajid he kept giving
the Dars (explaining) of the Tafseer-e-Qur’aan [Details of the Holy
Qur’aan]. He narrated in order the explanation of nine Qur’aanic
Parts over a period of 29 years.
m During these days in 1964 he built the Masjid Ghausiyah. With
the affiliation of Masjid Ghausiyah Trust in P.E.C.H.S Society he
established a religious education school by the name of Daar-ul-
‘Uloom Hanfiyah Ghausiyah. (He was also the Founding Chairman
of this education center). Al Hamdu Lil laah after receiving the
religious education from here many students are preaching the
religion and the true Sunni path all around the world.
m In 1972 the honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) laid
the foundation stone for the construction of a Masjid in Doli Khata,
Gulistan-e-Okarvi (Soldier Baazaar), Karachi. This was built on a
piece of land which was reserved for a masjid for the last 100 years
and started the honourary Khitaabat [Oration]. He established
its trust, by the name of Gulzar-e-Habeeb (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) Trust. The honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) was
its founder and the president. Under the management of this trust,
Jaame Masjid e Gulzar-e-Habeeb and Jaami’ah Islaamiyah Gulzar-
e-Habeeb are under construction. At one side of this Masjid is the
9 10
Mazaar Shareef (holy grave) of the honourable Maulana (Allaah have
mercy on him)which is a Marja-e-Khalaaiq (a place for everyone to
come with love and devotion).
m Every night regularly for forty years, the honourable Maulana
(Allaah have mercy on him) addressed religious gatherings. His academic
qualification, beauty of describing, melodiousness and quality
of oration were very unique and therefore; he was loved by every
heart. In each congregation there would be a gathering of hundreds
of thousands of people. In the month of Muharram-ul-Haraam
the largest religious gathering in the country on the eve of Shab-e-
‘Aashuur (10th night of Muharram) would be the congregation of
oration by the honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him). There
is hardly any area in Pakistan where the honourable Maulana (Allaah
have mercy on him) had not satisfied hearts and souls of the people with
his oration.
m For the preaching of religion and the true Sunni path, the
honourable Maulana (Allaah have mercy on him) traveled to Far East,
Middle East, India, Palestine, South Africa, Mauritius and many other
countries around the World. Till 1980 only in South Africa, 100,000
cassettes of the speeches of the respected Maulana (Allaah have mercy
on him) were sold. The quantity of the sold cassettes in other countries
is also not small. And now the video cassettes of his speeches are also
widely distributed.
m The honourable Maulana Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him) is the
author of many books which are based on his oceanic knowledge,
academic research work, religious intelligence and the love of the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). They are seen in the
religious circles with great respect. Each book is still printed in

 Translator’s Note
The most choicest Blessings and Salutation upon our Much loved Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), the Most Beloved of Almighty
Allaah, his blessed Family and the elevated Companions (Allaah be
pleased with them).
The book, “Safeenah-e-Nuuh” [The Ship of Nuuh/ Nuuh’s Ark] is
another famous writing of our respected Mujaddid-e-Maslak-e-Ahle
Sunnat [The Reviver of the true Sunni Path], Aashiq-e-Rasool [The
Lover of the Holy Prophet Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam], Khateeb-e-
A’zam [The Greatest Orator] Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee
Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him) that was written nearly sixty years
ago. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) have said, “The
example of my Ahle Baiet is like the ark of Nuuh [Noah] (Salutation
on him) the ones who embarked on it they received salvation and
the ones who stay out of it they drowned.” (Kanzul Ummaal #34151,
Al Bazzaar #5142, Ahmad in Fazaa’il #1402, Akhbaar-e-Makkah Faakihi #1904,
Tibraani Kabeer #2636, Ash Shari’ah Lil Aajuri #1700, Tibraani Ausat #3478,
#5536). Hence; he has named this book Safeenah-e-Nuuh because in
this book the Ahle Baiet (Allaah be pleased with them) are mentioned.
Here the respected Maulana Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him) has given
this clear message that Islaam has clothed a woman in strength and
worth. Also, the kind of dignity and respect Islaam has given to the
Muslim women this kind of respect was not given to them before
Islaam. The honourable Maulana Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him) has
discussed the multidimensional personalities of Hazrat Saiyyidah
Faatimah Zahraa and Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah
be pleased with them) which are an illuminated example for Muslim
women of every era. These pious women with unparalleled virtues
and merits, have dedicated all their lives for the sake of Islaam.
Since; the Holy Qur’aan has placed great emphasis on modesty and
humility. At the same time has also stressed that the women must be
protected from all kinds of evils. Therefore; the respected Maulana
This is also called ship and ark. [T/N]
21
Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him) has discussed these roles in the light of
the Qur’aanic verses and Ahaadees. He also explains what is Hijaab
[veiling]? How should the beauty of a woman remain in veil? What
is hayaa? Moreover, how important it is for a woman to have a solid
pure character? The respected Maulana Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on
him) has explained the different roles of the Muslim women in various
areas of life which is given to them by Allaah Almighty.
The respected Maulana Okarvi (Allaah have mercy on him) explains how
a woman can be at the same time a good mother, daughter, sister,
wife, teacher, mentor of her children, a social worker, a distributor of
wealth and property among the destitute and the needy of the society.
A compassionate wife, a model of self-sacrifice who would give
away any possession in the way of Allaah, a promoter of modesty
for women, true worshipper and supporter in war and peace. The
lives of these great personalities and their brilliant and par excellent
roles in the most adverse moments of the history of Islaam, is also a
flawless proof of the best upbringing which they received from their
own families. Thus those women who really carried the Islaamic
values and performed their roles and responsibilities in the early era
of Islaam, they can be considered as a role model for the women that
came later, even today.
A woman is not a toy, neither should she become a toy, nor should
she be considered a toy. If a woman develops herself according to the
Holy Qur’aan and Ahaadees then she will not become a decoration
piece or model-girl for the world. There are many misconceptions
regarding the actual role of the Muslim women in Islaam. Islaam is
viewed as a religion that suppresses the women but this is not the
reality. Many non-Muslims who are completely unaware about the
reverence given to Muslim women in the teachings and beliefs of
Islaam they try to paint Islaam with a brutal brush. Though since the
very initial period Islaam has distributed equality and justice among
the people.
At a social level, the roles of the Muslim women are very important
22
and integral part of the Islaamic society. The women make up
the half of the society and they are responsible for the nurturing,
guidance and transformation of the successive generations. It is the
women who infuses values and faith into the souls of the nation. It
is a famous saying that, “If you teach a woman you teach a whole
village.” But remember a woman has to know what she has to learn.
Her protection is only in the punctuality of religion and modesty.
The Muslim women have been a great example of self-respect and
excellence over the generations.
If we are able to implements some great qualities of these respected
Ladies of the Paradise (Allaah be pleased with them) in our lives then
every true Muslim women in the world can earn Paradise. In this
society where if we see the commercials of matches to motor cycles,
there is a vast display of women in advertisements, magazines
and newspapers. Then how can we expect from the young men of
this society that they should lower their gazes with modesty while
looking at the women. There is no restriction in the Islaamic Law that
says a woman cannot work or have a profession, that her only place
is the home. In a truly Islaamic society it is allowed to have women
as physicians, nurses, teachers though it is preferable to separate
teenagers in the volatile years in high school education. In all these
obligations of Islaam the intent was to honour her and to let her reach
the highest degree of perfection as a human being. The western talk
of women’s liberation is actually a disguised form of exploitation of
her body, deprivation of her honour and degradation of her soul.
I cannot thank enough the respected Hazrat Khateeb-e-Millat
Allaamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi (May his grace continue) for giving
me the honour of translating this book. His help in translating the
Arabic language is very important for this kind of work. Since
he has the authority on this subject therefore; his every word and
explanation is authentic. He consults many books and literature to
fully find the details and correctness. The original books are present
in his personal library which is a very wealthy and beneficial source
of knowledge. Without his verification, guidance and clarity this
23
English translation would have not been possible. The honorable
Hazrat (May Allaah continue his grace) has facilitated in providing the
required information regarding all the details. He often says in his
most heart-warming speeches that the basis of a righteous upbringing
is through example. This is much needed subject for the women of
the current society. When the women is performing her worship with
humility and serenity she has the greatest effect upon those who are
within her home. Once she perfects her wuzu and stands in submission
and humility to her Rabb [Allaah Almighty] then she will cultivate
the children upon these good qualities. He often gives the example
of his most pious and virtuous late respected mother (Allaah have mercy
on her). Who lived a life with great faithfulness and simplicity and in
every condition retained the practice of thankfulness and tolerance.
He says, we would be astonished by her simplicity and outspread
religiousness. (May Allaah elevate her grade and she would rest in peace).
Maulana Okarvi Academy, (Al Aalami) is presenting this book for
our English readers. I would never call myself worthy of doing
the correct interpretation of this ethically inspiring book. I would
certainly call it another milestone in my life which has developed my
own personality as a whole. Certainly I am solely responsible for any
errors. In Shaa Allaah I will correct them in the future edition. I would
certainly like to thank everyone who has helped me in delivering
this translation. Special thanks to my sisters for their hard-work and
efforts. I would like to again ask the readers to inform us regarding
any corrections and suggestions during the review of this book.

 Foreword
The entire life of my respected father, Mujaddid-e-Maslak-e-Ahle
Sunnat, Khateeb-e-A’zam Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Shafee Okarvi
(Rahmatul Laahi Alaieh) was spent in the propagation and broadcasting
of the religion and spreading the love of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam). This is surely a special graciousness on him from the
Divine Creator Allaah Kareem. And especial blessing and kindness
of the Mahboob-e-Rabbul Aalameen [The Beloved of the Creator
of Universe], Khatmul-Mursaleen [The Last of all the Prophets],
Rahmatul Lil Aalameen [The Mercy for all the worlds] the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). Also the favour of the legendary
religious holy personalities that he kept raising fearlessly the voice
of the Divine Truth [The message]. This is a unique example that
in a brief life of fifty-five [55] years, he did so many great works of
Sadaqaat-e-Jaariyah [continuous charity]. Surely, for the religious
people, this is an example of honour and pleasure. Also, along with
oration in the field of writing, he has left most significant memorials,
for a longtime which will keep full filling the work of correcting
beliefs and actions. In Shaa Allaah.
This is the second part of the book, “Safeenah-e-Nuuh.” In the first
part, the details about Hazrat Maulaa-e-Kaainaat Ameerul Mu’mineen
Saiyyidinaa Alee (Radiyal Laahu Anhu) is present. In its second part,
there are three chapters. In the first chapter is the excellences and
sacred conducts of Ummus Saadaat [The Mother of all the Saadaat],
Makhduumah-e-Kaainaat [The Grand Lady of all the Universe],
Dukhtar-e-Mustafaa [The Darling Daughter of the Holy Prophet],
Baanuu-e-Murtazaa [The Wife of Alee Murtazaa], Sardaar-e-
Khuwaateen-e-Jahaan and Jinaañ [The Leader of the Women of
the World and the Paradise], Hazrat Saiyyidah Taiyyibah [The Most
Virtuous], Taahirah [The Most Purified], Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be
pleased with her). In the second chapter is the description of Maadar-e-
Mu’minaañ [The Mother of the True Believers], Baanuu-e-Rahmat-
e-Dou Jahaañ [The Wife of the Mercy for both the Worlds], Ateeqah
25
Binte Ateeq [The Father and daughter are freed from the fire of hell],
Siddeeqah Binte Siddeeq [The Truthful Daughter of the Truthful
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq], Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidatunaa
Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her). And in the third chapter it
has been briefly described the details about the Orders of the Qur’aan
and Sunnah regarding the women of Islaam. All the details of the
books have been written authentically after research and certification
and the reference from where it has been derived that is also written
down. Even besides this, it is requested to the learned and the
intellectual people that they may inform about the mistakes of the
composing and the text etc., this servant will be grateful to them.
For Muslim women, particularly the sacred name and the blessed
personality of the Blessed Daughter of Khatmee Martabat [the
Last Prophet], Khaatoon-e-Jannat [The honourable Lady of the
Paradise], Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with
her) is the basis of affectionate love, and the pinnacle of devotion
because this is also our religious need. Even though this love is a
mean of salvation and eliminator of sins but according to a very wise
man’s secrecies, love is a plant and the expression is like water. The
nurturing of a plant is by continuous watering, no matter how strong
a tree might become, the need of water does not end. For the love
of the Family of the highly elevated Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam), the expression must also be done. If the requisite of the need
of love is not full filled then the love only remains like an imperfect
claim. And in my opinion, the continuous expression is, that at every
instance their remembrance should continue, and it should be rather
like this that in their following and dedication excellence should be
attained. Expression is not only this, that only their day is celebrated
and while mentioning their name’s our heads would be covered.
How strange that mostly our women wear dupattaa after hearing
the Azaan, but they do not read Namaaz [Salaah]. Though Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) had never Qazaa
[delayed] salaah. This is the sacred sign of her training that the head
of her son, even while being separated from the body, on the tip of
26
spear kept reciting the Qur’aan. It was also the warmth and softness My respected beloved father (Allaah have mercy on him) has written a

Several editions of this book have been published in the count of

His Beloved Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). (Okarvi Ghufira Lahu)
Karachi 1986
It is my suggestion for the Muslim women, instead of hearing and
reading this story they should hear the correct excellences and
qualities of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and
also narrate them so that the passion and desire of inspiring and
encouraging of doing good and virtuous deeds is increased in them,
and they would adopt the following of Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah
be pleased with her). Yes, for Ieesaal-e-Sawaab [forwarding rewards]
they should do Faatihah, Niyaaz, Saum o Salaat, Umrah and Hajj
etc., with love and sincerity but following her is more important. Do
make it obligatory. Islaam is that only religion which has changed the
disrespect of woman into respect. Absolute attachment with Islaam
is simply the honour and integrity of Muslim women otherwise
the western culture has diminished her status by making her an
advertisement and by disrobing her they have diminished her status.

Bismil Laahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Nahmaduhu Wa Nusallee Wa Nusallimu Alaa Rasoolihil Kareem
The most cherished of the Holy Prophet
[Jigar Goshah-e-Rasool]
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
Her esteemed sanctified name is Faatimah (Radiyal Laahu Anhaa), and
the titles are Saiyyidah [The Chieftess], Zahraa, Batool, Taahirah and
Zaakiyah, Raažiyyah and Maržiyyah, ‘Aabidah and Zaahidah.
Faatimah
Hazrat Anas Bin Maalik (Radiyal Laahu Anhu) says that the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
That I have kept the name of my daughter Faatimah for this reason
that Almighty Allaah has freed her and those who love her from the
fire of hell.
(Kanzul Ummaal #34227, Sawaa’iq-e-Muhariqah pg.151)
Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Mas’ood (Radiyal Laahu Anhu) says that the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
That Undoubtedly Faatimah is Paak Daaman [has perfect holiness],
and Almighty Allaah has forbidden [Haraam] her children on [from]
the fire of hell.
(Al Mustadrik Haakim #4726, Tibraani Kabeer #1018)
Zahraa
The Kalee [bud]. Very Beautiful. Almighty Allaah had bestowed
her a lot of beauteous elegance. Therefore; Hazrat Anas Bin Maalik
29
says that I asked my mother about Hazrat
(Radiyal Laahu Anhu)
Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa (Radiyal Laahu Anhaa). So, she said,
That Saiyyidah is beautiful and splendour like the full moon of the
fourteen night.
(Al Mustadrik Haakim # 4759)
Batool
Detached from the world. Since her attention was not towards the
world and its luxuries and indulgences rather it stayed all the time
towards the Almighty Allaah, therefore; she is called Batool [Purely
Devoted to Allaah].
Taahirah and Zaakiyah
The Pure, the Righteous and the Chaste. Since childhood due to the
gracious glance and favour of the association with the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) had attained the inner purification and she had also
attained inward and outward purification and sanctity therefore; she
was honoured with the title of Taahirah and Zaakiyah.
Raažiyyah and Maržiyyah
Since all the time she was contended with the happiness of the
Almighty Allaah, therefore; she is called Raažiyyah and Maržiyyah.
Aabidah and Zaahidah
Her whole life was spent in piety and worshipping (like you will
view in the following lines) therefore; she is remembered with the
titles of Aabidah and Zaahidah.
Birth [Wilaadat]
She was born in the first year of Prophethood, meaning at that time
the worldly age of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) was
forty-one [41] years. The rest of the children were born before the
announcement of the Prophethood. Since she was born in the luster
30
and magnificence of the honourable Realm of Prophethood, therefore;
she has the highest status amongst the daughters of the Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). (In some other narrations it is stated that she was
born before the announcement of the Prophethood)
Sacred Childhood
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah’s (Allaah be pleased with her) sacred childhood
and every instance of her life was very religious and why would have
it not been like that, since her place of growing was under the caring
mercy of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and Hazrat
Saiyyidah Khadeejatul Kubraa (Allaah be pleased with her). And day and
night she would listen to the sacred quotes and the narrations of
Allaah’s acquaintance from the blessed tongue of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and Hazrat Saiyyidah Khadeejatul
Kubraa (Allaah be pleased with her) and would also view their elevated
actions and conduct.
Departing of the sacred Mother (Allaah be pleased with her)
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah’s (Allaah be pleased with her) sacred age
was yet only nine years when her blessed mother Hazrat Saiyyidah
Khadeejatul Kubraa (Allaah be pleased with her) departed after doing
her best upbringing. The greatest sorrow of the departing of Hazrat
Saiyyidah Khadeejatul Kubraa (Allaah be pleased with her) was felt by the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and by she herself.
Nikaah [Marriage]
When her sacred age was almost fifteen [15] years then with the
Order of Almighty Allaah, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) performed her Nikaah [marriage] with Hazrat Alee [Allaah has
blessed his face] with great simplicity. At that time the age of Hazrat
Alee was almost twenty-four [24] years. After the Nikaah the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) read something on water and
sprinkled drops [of water] on both of them and said, “I give you and
your children in the protection of Almighty Allaah from the rejected
Shaietaan [Satan].”
(Kanzul Ummaal #37748, Ibne Asaakir, vol-36, pg.438, Tibraani Kabeer #1153,
Zakhaairul Uqbaa, vol-1, pg.28, vol-1, pg.33)
31
Excellences
[Fazaa’il]
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) has uncountable
excellences. She is the Noor-e-Nazar [The Luminance of the Eye]
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) Lakht-e-Jigar
[The Piece of the heart/Most Precious], the Most darling Daughter
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) she was the most
beloved amongst the Ahle Baiet. She is the respected wife of Faathe-
Khaiebar [The victor of Khaiebar], Shayr-e-Khudaa [The Lion of
Allaah], Hazrat Alee Murtazaa, the respected mother of Hasanaien-
e-Kareemaien (Hazrat Hasan and Hazrat Husaien (Allaah be pleased with
them) and the Leader of the women of the whole world. Almighty Allaah
has continued the succession of the Progeny of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) from her.
Tayree Nasl-e-Paak Mayñ Hai Bachchah Bachchah Noor Kaa
Tou Hai Aien-e-Noor Tayraa Sab Gharaanah Noor Kaa
In your blessed progeny every child is of Noor [Divine Luminance]
You (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) are the precise Noor [Divine
Luminance], your whole family is Noor [Divine Luminance]
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her)
says,
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said to Hazrat Faatimah that
are you not happy on this thing that
you are the leader of all the women of
the world and the Paradise?
(Bukhaari #6285, Muslim #2450-98, Usudul
Ghaabah, vol-6, pg.223)
Hazrat Huzaiefah (Allaah be pleased with her) says that, I requested my
mother to give me the permission that I would read my Maghrib
32
Salaah [Namaaz] with the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
and then would plea for the supplication of her and mine salvation. The
mother gave me the permission and I came in the honourable presence
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). I read the Salaat of
Maghrib with him and also read some Nawaafil [voluntary Salaat].
After that read the Salaat of Ishaa. When he started leaving after
disengaging from the Salaat, then I also went behind him. He said after
hearing the noise of my steps, “Are you Huzaiefah?” I replied, “yes.”
What is your need, may Allaah forgive
you and your mother [The Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
recognized him in darkness without
looking and full filled the desire of
his heart without asking]? The Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
said, this is an angel, who has never
descended to the earth before this
night. This angel has taken permission
from his Creator [Allaah] to come to
me and to do his Salaam [Salutations]
and is giving me this glad tiding that
Faatimah is the leader of the women
of Paradise, and Hasan and Husaien
are the leaders of the young men of
Paradise (Allaah be pleased with them).
(Tirmizee #3781, Mishkaat #6171)
Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Abbaas (Allaah be pleased with them) says that,
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that the most superior
amongst the women of Paradise are
Khadeejah Binte Khuwaielid and
Faatimah Binte Muhammad and
Maryam Binte Imraan and Aasiyah
Binte Muzaahim [the Wife of
Pharaoh].

Raashidoon, pg.52, Al Isaabah, vol-8, pg. 264,
Durr-e-Mansuur, vol-2, pg.193)
Hazrat Abu Huraierah (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that, the best amongst
the women of the world are these four
[4] women Maryam Binte Imraan,
Aasiyah Binte Muzaahim, Khadeejah
Binte Khuwaielid and Faatimah Binte
Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa

(Al Istee’aab, vol-2, pg.772, Zakhaairul
Uqbaa, vol-1, pg.44, Tibraani Kabeer #1004,
Al Isaabah, vol-8, pg. 268)
Hazrat Imraan Bin Haseen (Allaah be pleased with him) says that the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
O my daughter, are you not happy that
you are the leader of all the women of
the worlds? Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah
be pleased with her] replied, “My dear
Father so is Mariam Binte Imraan.”
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) replied, “She is the leader
of the women of her era, you are the
leader of the women of your era. Oath
by Allaah your husband Alee, is the
leader in the world and hereafter.”
(Al Istee’aab, vol-4, pg.1895, Hilyatul Auliyaa,
vol-2, pg. 82, Siyaru I’laamun Nubalaa, vol-2,
pg.126, Zakhaairul Uqbaa, vol-1, pg.43)
34
 Who is more Superior?
Who is more elevated amid Hazrat Maryam Siddeeqah and Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with them)? Some have said
that Hazrat Maryam Siddeeqah is, because Almighty Allaah have stated
in her excellence (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Maidah, verse # 75)
and have stated (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Baqarah,
verse # 42) Thus, it is proven that she is Siddeeqah [The Truthful] and is
more elevated over all the women of the world.
In reply to this the respected scholars say, that by the Lady of all the
Worlds [Nisaa-ul-Aalameen] it means the women of the
era, like it has been stated [By Allaah] to the Progeny of Israa’eel [Bani
Israa’eel] [I exalted you over all the people of
the (then) worlds] (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Baqarah, verse #122). Hence as
in that era the Progeny of Israa’eel [Bani Israa’eel] were given more
superiority over other nations, similarly Hazrat Maryam is given the
superiority over all the women of that era. It is also confirmed by the
sacred saying of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) that he
said it to Hazrat Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with her]
The late Doctor Allaamah Iqbaal while presenting tribute in the honour
of Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with her) says this very
well that,
Hazrat Maryam (Salutation on her) is cherished due to only one connection
meaning she is the mother of Hazrat Ieesaa (Salutation on him) but Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with her) is more cherished
due to three connections
The first connection is that she is the most revered and piece of the
heart of the Awwaleen aur Aakhreen kay Imaam [The leader of the
foremost and the last], Rahmatul lil Aalameen [The Mercy for all the
Worlds], Hazrat Muhammad Mustafaa (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)

She is the leader of the women of her era and you are the leader of the
women of your era. Like it has been stated earlier. The Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) further said,
Four women are the leader of their
own eras Maryam Binte Imraan,
Aasiyah Binte Muzaahim (wife
of Fir’aun [Pharaoh]), Khadeejah
Binte Khuwaielid, Faatimah Binte
Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) and the most superior amid
them is Faatimah Zahraa [Allaah be
pleased with her].
(Durr-e-Mansuur, vol-2, pg.194, Kanzul
Ummaal #34411, Zakhaairul Uqbaa, vol-1,
pg.44)
In any case this is a reality that Hazrat Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased
with her) is superior than Hazrat Mariam and Hazrat Aasiyah [Allaah be
pleased with them].
The second connection is that she is the wife of Taajdaar Hal Ataa
[The Sovereign] of the meaning of Hal Ataa (Referred to Holy Qur’aan,
chapter Ad Dahr, verse #1), Maulaa-e-Murtazaa [The Chosen Rescuer],
Mushkil Kushaa [The Dispeller of Difficulties], Shayr-e-Khudaa [The
Lion of Allaah], Hazrat Alee
The third connection is that she is the mother of the Hazrat Husaien,
who is the apex of the compass of Ishq [Love] and the commander of
the troop of Ishq [Love]
(Dr. Iqbaal, Ramooz-e-Baykhudee)
Compass is an instrument of Geometry by which you place the pointed edge in
the center and make a circle. If the pointed edge of the compass is shaken then the
circle will never be round and correct. In this verse, Allaamah Iqbal has mentioned
that Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) is the mother of Hazrat
Imaam Husaien (Allaah be pleased with him) who was the center of the compass of
Islaam [in Karbalaa]. If he would have moved or would have not been firm, then the
circle of Islaam would have never been correct.] [T/N]

If we ponder honestly on this and the above mentioned Hadees of
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her)
then it is learnt that these narrations of Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be
pleased with her) along with being a great evidence of her impartiality,
unbiasedness, honesty and fairness, are also a sign of her profound love
for Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with her]. Therefore; similarly,

It is proven by this Hadees, that if any elder stands with compassion
and love for a younger one and the younger one stands for the respect
of an elder then it is allowed, and it is proven by the Holy Prophet (Sallal

than Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with

It is narrated in Nuzhatul Majaalis [book], that when the verse
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Maryam, verse #71) was revealed then
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) started crying a lot in
the concern of the Ummah [Nation]. After seeing his this condition,
the respected Companions were overwhelmed with love and they also
started crying. But no one knew the reason for the crying of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). Since; even in great pain and
sorrow the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) becomes happy
by seeing Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and all his pain
and sorrow dispels. Therefore; some of the respected companions gave
this suggestion that in some way Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) must be called. Hence, Hazrat Salmaan Faarasi (Allaah be
pleased with him) went and explained the whole incident and articulated
the request to come to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
At the same instant Khaatoon-e-Jannat [The respectable Lady of
the Paradise], Saiyyidatunaa Nisaa-il-Aalameen [The Leader of the
Women of the Worlds], got up and draped a blanket on which there
were more than twelve [12] patches and came along. Hazrat Salmaan
Faarasi (Allaah be pleased with him) says that, I felt a kind of pain in my
heart while crying I was saying in my heart that the daughters of Kuffaar
[infidels] wear such embellished dresses and the dress of the beloved
daughter of Rasoolal Laah (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) has so many
patches. When we reached in the honourable presence of the Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), so the instant she saw the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), the sacred eyes of Saiyyidah Faatimah
were filled with tears. And while crying she said, “O My beloved
father, which matter has made you cry so much?” The Holy Prophet
42
 recited the verse that was revealed. After
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
hearing it Saiyyidah Faatimah started crying even more with the Fear
of Allaah. And while crying she turned her attention towards Hazrat
Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) and said, “O Shaiekh-ul-
Muhaajireen [The Chief of the Immigrants], Allaah has revealed the
verse (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Maryam, verse #71) on to
His Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) so do you sacrifice yourself
on the old men of the Ummah? Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be
pleased with him) said, “Yes!” Then Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah said to
Hazrat Alee Murtazaa, “Do you sacrifice yourself on the young men
of the Ummah?” He said, “Yes!” Then she said to Hasan and Husaien,
“Do you sacrifice yourself on the children of the Ummah?” They said,
“Yes!” Then she said that, “She sacrifices herself on the women of the
Ummah.”
She is the Pride of Hazrat Haajirah and Hazrat Aasiyah and She is the
Second Maryam
Woh Jin Kaa Aek Sajdah Zaamin-e-Afw-e-Khataa Kaaraañ
Woh Jin Kee Jumbish-e-Labb Shaafi’e-e-Jurum-e-Ghunah

She the one whose single prostration is the surety for the forgiveness
of the incompetent guiltiest
She whose slight moving gesture of her lips is the intercession for the
sins of the sinful people

Thus, Jibraa’eel descended and said,

O Muhammad, Almighty Allaah says
His Salaam to you, and says that say
it to Faatimah that she should not be
sad, I will do that demeanour with
your Ummah which Faatimah will
desire.

The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) became happy and
performed Sajdah-e-Shukr [the prostration of thankfulness]
(Nuzhatul Majaalis, vol-2, pg.174)

Woh Noor-e-Aien, Wu Lakht-e-Dil-e-Mahboob-e-Rabbaani

Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah is Noor-e-Aien [the Divine Luminance
of eye], she is Lakht-e-Jigar [the Most Precious/the Most Beloved/
piece of heart] of the Beloved of Allaah (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)

 Piety and Reliance
(Zuhd o Taqwaa)
In the path of Allaah, to fight with the infidels is also holy war [Jihaad],
but while opposing the lustful desires, to safe guard oneself and with
true intention to follow the Book [Qur’aan] and Sunnah while staying
steadfast on it and to bear all kinds of hardships is a greater Holy war
[Jihaad-e-Akbar]. Almighty Allaah says;
The one who kept restraining his self
from evil desires. (40) Then verily
Paradise is his destination. (41)
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Nazi’aat, verse
#40, #41)
It is learned from this sacred verse that the one who instead of
following the Nafsi desires [lustful desires] keeps a control on the
Nafs [lust] and follow the Orders of Allaah, his abode is nowhere
except the Paradise.
Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudree (Allaah be pleased with him) says that the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
There are four Jihaad [holy war].
To give the orders of doing good
acts, to tell not to do bad deeds, to
adopt truthfulness at the places of
afflictions, to hate the disobedient.
(Al Fat hul Kabeer, vol-2, pg.208, Kanzul
Ummaal #5513, Hilyatul Auliyaa, vol-5,
pg.10)
Hazrat Abu Zarr (Allaah be pleased with him) says that the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
The most superior Jihaad [holy
war] is this that the person would
do jihaad [holy war] with his Nafs
[lust] and would do holy war with its
45
prohibited desires.
(Al Fat hul Kabeer, vol-2, pg.208, Faiez ul
Qadeer #1247, Kanzul Ummaal #11780,
#11262)
It is clearly proven by these Hadees that the most superior Jihaad is
to fight with Nafs [lustful desires] and its disallowed desires. There-
fore; at the time of return from the holy war of Tabuuk the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
We are returning from Jihaad-e-
Asghar [small war] to Jihaad-e-
Akbar [big war].
The respected companions inquired, ‘O Prophet of Allaah, [Yaa
Rasoolal Laah (Sallal Laahu Alaieka Wa Sallam)] what is Jihaad-e-Akbar
[Greater war]?’ He said, “To keep the Nafs [lustful desires] pure from
the disobedience of Almighty Allaah.
(Ganyatul Taalibeen, vol-1, pg.207, Keemiyaa-e-Sa’aadat 203, Kanzul Ummaal
#11260, #11779, Taareekh-e-Baghdaad #7345)
Why is the Jihaad [holy war] with Nafs [lustful desires] the Jihaad-
e-Akbar [Greater war]? Because the infidels are open enemies and
the Nafs [lustful desires] and Shaietaan [Satan] are hidden enemies.
To do Jihaad [holy war] with infidels we need the strength of arms,
arrow and swords and to do Jihaad with Nafs and Shaietaan, the need
is of the power of Ieemaan [Belief] and deeds. We occasionally get
the chance to do Jihaad with infidels but to do Jihaad with Nafs and
Shaietaan we must do Jihaad all the time. Thus, it is learnt that to do
Jihaad with Nafs is certainly the greater holy war [Jihaad-e-Akbar].
Jihaad [Holy war] with Nafs [lustful desires]
The result of holy war [Jihaad] is defeat or victory. If while fulfilling
the desires of Nafs [lust] you adopt the forbidden [Haraam], then it is
your defeat and it is the victory of Nafs. While if you crush the desires
of Nafs and save yourself from adopting the forbidden [Haraam]
then it is your victory and the defeat of the Nafs [lustful desires]. And
46
it is obvious if you are giving defeat upon defeat to an enemy, you After saying this the Holy Prophet

Thus; the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu

do you like this that the people would something which is better than what

vol-2, pg.367, Subulal Hudaa, vol-11, pg.48,
Tabaqaat Ibne Sa’ad, vol-8, pg.21)
Hazrat Anas (Allaah be pleased with him) says that Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her) came in the honourable presence of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
And requested, “O Prophet of Allaah
[Yaa Rasoolal Laah Sallal Laahu Alaieka
Wa Sallam], we do not even have a
bedding except for the skin of a
lamb, on which we sleep in the night
and in the day we give our camel
feed [grass] etc., on it. The Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
said, “Daughter be patient, Moosaa
Bin Imraan [Salutation on them] spend
ten years with his wife in the same
condition, that there was no bedding
etc., for them beside one sheet which
was small.
(Zarqaani Alal Mawaahib, vol-2, pg.367)
Hazrat Imraan Bin Haseen (Allaah be pleased with him) says that once in
the morning the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) went to
the house of Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her). I was also
along with him. When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
reached the door he said, “O my daughter As Salaamu Alaiekum, a
49
person is along with me, can we come inside the house?” Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) said, “O Prophet of Allaah [Yaa
Rasoolal Laah (Sallal Laahu Alaieka Wa Sallam)], on my body beside an
old sheet [cover] there is no other cloth and the whole body does not
cover with it.” The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) threw
his sacred old Kanmblee [sheet] towards her, with which Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) covered her body. Then the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) went inside and said, “Daughter,
how are you?” She said, “My dear father, I have not eaten anything
from yesterday, I am in starvation, hunger has disturbed me a lot.”
After hearing this the eyes of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) filled with tears, and he said, “My Daughter, I have also not
eaten anything from three [3] days. Even though I am the Prophet
of Allaah, and am more honourable than you near Him [Allaah], if I
will request Him, He will surely feed me, but I give more importance
to hereafter over this world and have adopted self-control abstinence
and disciplined self-restraint.
Then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) kept his sacred
hand on the shoulders of Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her)
and said, Daughter you should live
happily, you are the leader of the
women of Paradise, and I have done
your Nikaah [marriage] with the
one who is the chief in the world

(Keemiyaa-e-Sa’aadat, vol-3, pg.209) Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and his family and progeny
would remain hungry several nights and whenever they would eat,
The respected companions inquired from the Holy Prophet (Sallal then it would be barley bread.
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), O Prophet of Allaah, [Yaa Rasoolal Laah Sallal (Tirmizee Shareef #2360)
Laahu Alaieka Wa Sallam] who is the most superior person? The Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “The one who eats less, Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) says the

that, sometimes I would start crying after seeing the condition of his

that a person said to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam),

51 52
 And while moving my hand on his
stomach which (would be pressed
due to starvation) Ummul Mu’mineen
(Allaah be pleased with her) would say,
“My life would be sacrificed upon
you, at least accept this much from
the world which would be enough to
keep [physical] strength. So, the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
would say in reply, “Aaishah what
concern do I have with the world,
my brothers amidst the determined
Prophets would be patient even in
much harder conditions than this.”
(Shifaa Shareef, vol-1, pg.283, Subulal
Hudaa, vol-7, pg.41, Keemiyaa-e-Sa’aadat,
vol-3, pg.209)
Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Abbaas (Allaah be pleased with him) says that
one day the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and Hazrat
Jibraa’eel-e-Ameen were on the mountain of Safaa in Makkah
Mu’azzamah. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said to
Jibraa’eel-e-Ameen, “Oath by that Reverend One [Almighty Allaah]
who has sent me with Haqq [The Truth]. In the evening the Progeny
of Muhammad does not even have a fist full of flour, and a handful of
grinded barley flour.” This statement had not yet even finished, then
a firm Voice came from the sky. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said, “Jibraa’eel what is this?” He said, “This is Israa’feel
[The Prophet angel], he has been ordered to come to you, therefore;
he has arrived. And said the statement that you have said, it has been
heard by Almighty Allaah, and I have been sent to you with the keys
of the treasures of the world. That I may present these keys in your
honour. And would make the mountains of Tihaamah into emeralds,
rubies, silver and gold. If you agree on this then I can do this work
just now. You have been given the authority. If you desire to become
Prophet as King or Prophet as Worshipper? The Holy Prophet (Sallal
53
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “I want to be Prophet as Worshipper.”
(Kanzul Ummaal #32027, Subulal Hudaa, vol-7, pg.38, Zarqaani, vol-7, pg.257)
Thus, it is proven by this that the hunger and starvation of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) was adopted by self-choice and
he preferred this hunger and starvation over riches. And then with
what patience and thankfulness the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam), Azwaaj-e-Mutahharaat [his sacred wives], and the Ahle
Baiet-e-Athaar [The sacred Progeny of the Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam)] have lived, we cannot find its example. Therefore; some
narrations written below are a clear evidence of it.
Hazrat Imraan Bin Haseen (Allaah be pleased with him) says that, I was
sitting near the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), Saiyyidah
Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) came, at that time her face
was becoming pale. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
recognized by looking at her face that it is happening due to hunger.
So, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) placed his sacred
hand under her neck where [usually] necklace is placed and widen
his fingers and said,
O Allaah, the One Who feeds the
hungry and makes the inferior to
superior, elevate Faatimah Binte
Muhammad. Imraan says, I saw
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her), the effects of hunger kept
dispelling from her face. After
sometimes I met Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her) and inquired.
So, she said, “O Imraan, after that I
was never distressed by hunger.”
(Dalaa’ilun Nubuwwat Baiehaqi: vol-6,

54
Imaam Hasan (Allaah be pleased with him) says that one day we all
received food only one time. The respected father, Imaam Husaien
(Allaah be pleased with them) and I had eaten. The respected mother had to
still eat, a beggar came at the door and pleaded like this, “Salaam be
on the daughter of the Prophet of Allaah [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam].
I am hungry from two times. Give me food.” After hearing this the
respected mother said to me, “Go give this food to that beggar, I am
only starving for one time, he has not eaten from two times.”
(Seerat-e-Faatimah)
Muhaddis Ibne Jauzee has narrated that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) had given a new shirt to Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah
be pleased with her] in her dowry. After sometimes a beggar came at
the door of Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with her] and begged,
“O the family of Prophet, I am helpless. If there is any old torn cloth
give it to me.” At that time Saiyyidah Faatimah had an old shirt. She
says, when I decided to give that she immediately remembered this
verse [You shall never attain virtue until you
spend your favourite things.] (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Aal e Imraan,
verse #92). Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with her] immediately
kept the old shirt and took out the new shirt and gave it to the beggar.
(Nuzhatul Majaalis, vol-2, pg. 175)
Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Abbaas (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
a person from Bani Sulaiem come in the honourable presence [of
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)] and did insolence like
this, O Muhammad, are you that same magician for whom this is
famous that the shadow of his being does not fall on the ground.
Pledge by God, if I did not have this believe that my community will
become angry with me then with this sword, I would have sliced off
your head. (Ma’aazal Laah) [Allaah may protect us].
Hazrat Umar-e-Faarooq (Allaah be pleased with him) moved forward and
wanted to give the reply of this insolence and disrespectfulness. But
the Saiyyidul Mursaleen [The Chief of all the Prophets], Rahmatulil
Aalameen [The Mercy for all the Worlds], the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) stopped him and said to this person, “You must
fear from the wrath of hereafter and fear the torments of hell, leave
55
the worshipping of idols, do the worship and devotion of the One
Worthy of Worship who does not have any partner Allaah [Wahdahu
Laa Shareek]. I am not a magician rather I am the worshipper of
Almighty Allaah and I am His Prophet.” There was such an effect
on him by the Holy Prophet’s (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) great
conduct and his effective words that this idol worshipping infidel
who possessed the feeling of assassination he became Muslim at
that same instance. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
said to the respected companions, “Teach him some verses of the
Holy Qur’aan.” When he learnt then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “How much wealth do you have?” He said, “O
Prophet of Allaah (Yaa Rasoolal Laah, Sallal Laahu Alaieka Wa Sallam)
there are four thousand [4000] people in the tribe Bani Sulaiem
but in it no one is poorer than me.” The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) looked at the sacred companions and said, “Is there
anyone amongst you who would buy a camel and give it to him,
Almighty Allaah will give him better return?” Hazrat Sa’ad Bin
Ubaiedah (Allaah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allaah [Yaa
Rasoolal Laah Sallal Laahu Alaieka Wa Sallam] I have a female camel
[cow] I will give that to him.” Again, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “Who is the one who would cover his head and
make the Almighty Allaah happy?” Hazrat Alee (Allaah be pleased with
him) took off his sacred turban and placed it on his head. Again, the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “Who is the one who
will make arrangement for his food at this time?” Hazrat Salmaan
Faarasi (Allaah be pleased with him) got up and went to several houses,
but coincidently did not get anything. Then he went to the house of
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and knocked at the door.
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) said, “Who is it?” He
said, “I am Salmaan Faarasi.” Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) inquired, “Why did you come.” Hazrat Salmaan [Allaah be
pleased with him] described the whole event. Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah
be leased with her) became tearful and said, “O Salmaan, Pledge by
Allaah, the One who has made my father a Prophet and sent him,
today it is the third day since [when] we all are starving. But you
have come to the door how could I return you empty-handed. Go
take this Chaadar [sheet/cover], to the Jew Sham’oon and tell him,
keep this sheet of Faatimah Binte Muhammad and give a little barley
in loan. Hazrat Salmaan (Allaah be pleased with him) came with this
56
sheet to Sham’oon and described the whole incident. For sometimes
Sham’oon kept looking at this sacred sheet, that instance a kind of
ecstasy affected him and he started saying, “O Salmaan these are
those sacred people whose news Almighty Allaah had given to our
Prophet Hazrat Moosaa (Salutation on him) in Tauraat [Torah]. With a
truthful heart I accept belief in the father of Faatimah, the Prophet of
Allaah (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), after saying this Sham’oon read
the Kalimah Tauheed and became a Muslim. Later he gave the barley
to Hazrat Salmaan [Allaah be pleased with him] and with great respect and
honour returned the sacred sheet [Chaadar Mubaarak]. Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) gave gracious supplications to
Sha’moon and grinded the barley and prepared the food and gave it
to Hazrat Salmaan (Allaah be pleased with him). Hazrat Salmaan (Allaah
be pleased with him) said, “Keep some from it for the children.” She
said, “I have only got it and prepared it with the intention of giving
in the way of Allaah now it is not appropriate to take from it.” Hazrat
Salmaan (Allaah be pleased with him) took that bread in the honourable
court of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and told the
whole incident. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) gave
that bread to this new Muslim and went to his most beloved daughter
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her). He saw that her
face was becoming pale because of the effects of hunger. And the
effects of weakness were prominent. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) made his beloved daughter Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her) sit next to him and consoled her and turned
his blessed face towards the sky and said, “O Allaah, Faatimah is
your worshipper, stay happy with her.”
(Seerat-e-Faatimah)
Once Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) came with a piece
of flatbread [Roottee] in her hand in the holy presence of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). He inquired, “What is this?”
She said, “I had made a bread, I did not feel like eating it alone
without you.” The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
“Daughter this is the first food that will go in the mouth of your father
after three days.”
(Keemiyaa-e-Sa’aadat, vol-3, pg.209)
Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) says, “Even while cooking food
57
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) would continue reciting
the Holy Qur’aan. When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) would come for reading Salaah [Namaaz] and on the way
he would pass the house of Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with
her) and would hear the voice of the grinding mill from the house
then with immense love and affection he would plea in the court of
Almighty Allaah. Yaa Arhamar Raahimeen, give Faatimah the best
rewards for worshipping and contentment and give her the ability to
remain steadfast in the condition of Faqr [self-discipline].
(Seerat-e-Faatimah)
Hazrat Imaam Hasan (Allaah be pleased with him) says that, “I have seen
sometimes my respected mother Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) from evening till morning in worshipping and praying in the
honour of Almighty Allaah while deeply weeping and with immense
humility doing supplication and pleading. But I have never seen that
she had requested anything for herself in the supplication but all her
du’aa [supplications] would be for the salvation and betterment of
the Ummah of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).

She would stay awake all night spending in continuous worshipping
She is the one in whose personality the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) had pride
Hazrat Salmaan Faarasi (Allaah be pleased with him) says that once I
came in the honourable presence of Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) with the order of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam). I saw that the gracious Hasanaien-e-Kareemaien [Hazrat
Hasan and Husaien Allaah be pleased with them] were sleeping and she
was fanning them and the recitation of the words of Allaah were
continuous on her tongue. After seeing this, a special kind of state of
ecstasy enfolded on me.
58
Hazrat Umme Aieman (Allaah be pleased with her) says that, it was the Shyness and Modesty
month of the holy Ramadaan. It was the time of afternoon. Scorching (Sharm o Hayaa)
heat wave continued. The weather was very hot, I came at the house
of Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her). The door was locked, and
Hazrat Abu Huraierah (Allaah be pleased with him) says that the Holy
voice of grinding the quern [hand mill] was coming. I peeped in from
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
a hole in the door and looked. Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) was sleeping on the floor next to the quern [hand mill] and
Hayaa [Modesty] is a part of Iee-
the quern was moving on its own and nearby the cradle of Hasanaien
maan [Believe]. And the believer
[Allaah be pleased with them] was also moving on its own. After seeing
will go to Paradise and Bey Hayaaee
this I was very surprised and amazed. I immediately came in the
honourable presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) [Immodesty] is evilness and the evil
and described this incident. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa person will go to hell.
(Tirmizee #2009, Ahmad #10512, Mishkaat
Sallam) said, “Faatimah is fasting in this severe hot weather, Almighty #5077)
Allaah has occupied Faatimah with sleep so that she may not feel the
severity of heat and thirst and have ordered the Angels to do the work
of Faatimah.” Hazrat Imraan Bin Haseen (Allaah be pleased with him) says that the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,

Hayaa [Modesty] and Ieemaan

[Belief] are interdependent, when
Woh Khaatoon-e-Jinaañ Ma’soom Hoorayñ one from both of them, is lifted then

Angels would come from the Paradise to grind whose querns
[grinding hand millstone] Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Mas’ood (Allaah be pleased with him) says the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) have said that these words
The Muslim women should learn lesson from the sacred way of life are from the statement of the previous Prophets, [Salutation on them]
of Saiyyidah Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her). How much
pity is on those women who even besides having so many luxuries
they complain and whine and remain oblivious from their obligations. When you have not done shame
And do not even read Salaah [Namaaz]. O I wish, they would learn [shyness] and Hayaa [modesty] now

(Bukhaari #3484)
(Allaah be pleased with her) and would become worthy of unlimited
prosperity and blessing, rewards and benediction in the world and
hereafter. A Muslim woman should learn this that her deliverance is Amongst the special blessed attributes of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
in the following of Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and this one has also been described that he was
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
the punctuality of the Islaamic orders. even more shy and modest than the veil observing unmarried girls.

59 60
The modesty and shyness of unmarried girls was famous therefore;
people would often give examples that such and such person is shy
like unmarried girls. But nowadays the unmarried girls and boys who
are studying in schools and colleges what they are doing is not hidden
from anyone. Illaa Maa Shaa Allaah (But those whom Allaah have
protected). Don’t know why the Muslim nation has left honour and
prudence, modesty and shamefulness and why are they becoming
immodest and indecent?
Hawaa Masmooñ Hotee Jaa Rahee Hai
The air is becoming poisonous
Fizaa Maghmoom Hotee Jaa Rahee Hai
Atmosphere is becoming distressed
Sitam Hai Binte Muslim Kee Nazar Say
It is oppressive that from the eyes of the Muslim daughters
Hayaa Ma’doom Hotee Jaa Rahee Hai
Modesty and shyness is becoming extinct
In reality, all this evilness is from Cinema, immodesty, and the
established wrong education. Instead of the Book [Qur’aan], Sunnah,
the sacred facts about the legendary religious people, in front of us
are the romantic novels, false stories and the life stories of the film
actors. In school and colleges dramas, dances and music etc., are
taught. The devastating results of the effects of these things are in
front of us. With Allaah’s will, I hope the Muslim boys and girls
instead of reading the non-beneficial novels and stories would read
the Qur’aan and Sunnah and the pious life stories of the religious
people. And the parents would also have the desire to give their
children the religious education. Aameen Summa Aameen!
 In today’s time the misuse of social electronic media and many similar innovations also has great negative
effects. These days the women cover their bodies with the fear of Dengue [Mosquito which causes Dengue
fever] but not with the fear of Almighty Allaah. [T/N]
61
Ill-fatedly among the Muslims also, some such people have emerged
whose claim is, that there is no proof of veiling etc., in Qur’aan and
Sunnah. And neither this is important because by this the health is
ruined and the women become a prey of sickness. Pardah [veiling/
Hijaab] is a kind of imprisonment and an inappropriate prison against
education and advancement etc., etc.
(Al Iyaazu Bil Laah) [May Allaah protect us]
Hence; it seems appropriate that few intellectual and narrative
evidences about veiling [Pardah] are also presented for the readers.
Undoubtedly this wrong thinking is the result of being in love with
the western way of living. And the name of this is religious selling
and ego worshiping. After seeing the dalliance and jollification of the
western nations the wicked ego wants that we should also celebrate
dalliance and jollify like them. And would attain lustful pleasure and
ecstasy like them. The rest of the education and the advancement is
only an excuse. Otherwise the Islaamic Pardah [veiling] is neither
against learning nor advancement. And nor is it a cause of bad health,
this is an ambiguity and misconception. There was an era when the
Muslims countries were the only country in the entire world having
honour and elevation. They were in the forefront in all the levels
of advancement amid all the nations of the world. Islaamic Hijaab
[Pardah] was also present in that era. The books are filled with the
stories about the legendary educated and honoured women of those
days. Without any doubt their intellectual and heroic endeavours
are worth appreciating and a cause of pride. These Muslim women
never wanted that they should get freedom from hijaab [Pardah],
because this is against advancement and a cause of sickness to health.
And neither the daring and brave Muslims of those days ever had a
feeling in their hearts that this is against advancement and a cause of
bad health. The real matter is this, that we Muslims have discarded
reading the Qur’aan and Sunnah and following it. We have turned
away our faces from Almighty Allaah and the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) therefore; exalted glorifications is snatched
 For the detail on the topic of women of Islaam” see my book, “Musalmaan Khaatoon.”
62
away from us and we have gone down and fallen into the ditches of
disgrace and deterioration. If hijaab [veiling] would be considered
against advancement, then why did the Muslims of the earlier eras
who were very strict adheres [followers] of women veiling [Pardah]
why did they progressed? In reality the cause of our dishonour is not
veiling [Hijaab/ Pardah] rather it is unveiling [discarding hijaab/
pardah] and discarding religion.
Why is veiling [Hijaab/Pardah] important?
This is a reality which cannot be denied that the hearts and souls
are attracted to a well-balanced, proportionate, beautiful and elegant
things, it is a natural process. Also it is in human nature that when
he likes something then he does every possible struggle to acquire
it. For this reason, every shopkeeper exhibits his most beautiful and
elegant thing all over the market. So that the eyes of the people would
be attracted to it and they would try to get it by being impressed
with its qualities. He knows that if he keeps them hidden and the
eyes of no one will falls on them then no one will have the desire to
buy it because the feeling of acquiring is only formed after seeing
something. When you know this reality very well then honestly say
if a beautiful and elegant young woman will come in front of the
people with her beauty, adornment and embellishment without veil,
then those people who have evil-lust, and from Allaah they are also
not innocent and protected. Will they not be affected? Will there
not be a temptation in their emotions? Will be, and surely will be,
then they will want that any way they would quench the fire of their
emotions and if nothing else then by deliberately seeing again and
again they would attain pleasure. And then this attaining pleasure
becomes a habit, and in future which becomes the perpetration of
illicitly, and a cause of evil temptation and violent disorders. Pledge
by Allaah, the safety of our honour and dignity is in this that we
would be following the sacred saying of the Almighty Allaah and
His Truthfully Blessed Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and
would do the regularity of veiling [Hijaab/Pardah] and also get it
done.
63
Almighty Allaah says,
O My Beloved, order the Muslims
men to lower down their gaze a
little and to guard their private
parts. This is much cleaner for them,
undoubtedly, Allaah is fully aware of
their deeds. And order the Muslim
women that they should keep their
eyes lowered and guard their chastity
and not display their adornment
except what is itself apparent and
keep drawn their head-coverings
over their bosoms.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Noor, verse #30,
#31)
The beginning of Fitnah [evil], Fasaad [violence], Bay Hayaaee
[immodesty], is also with evil-eye sightedness. For this reason, most
initially Almighty Allaah has closed this door. Both men and women
have been ordered to keep their eyes glance low and be cautious
while seeing the unacquainted. And keep their lust in their control.
This does not at all mean that the men and women must keep looking
down all the time, they may never look up. Rather the meaning of this
is, they should not take pleasure and be attracted by the beauty and the
glamour of one another and by their adornment and embellishment,
and should not be attracted towards one another this is a cause of
evilness. Therefore; that first glance which falls suddenly without
intention and purpose, that is forgiven, provided it is immediately
taken back because it will be free from these effects. Yes, that second
look which is glanced with intention and desire that is not allowed,
because in it the desire of lust will certainly be included.
(During treatment and medical checkup the viewing of any part of
an unknown woman by a Doctor, or if an unknown woman would be
drowning, or her body, respect or honour would be in danger then at
that time for saving her if the glance falls on her face, or on her body
etc., then that is exempted.)
64
Hazrat Alee (Allaah be pleased with him) says that the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) inquired from the respected Companions
(Allaah be pleased with them), “What is the better thing for a woman?” All
the respected companions (Allaah be pleased with them) remained silent
no one gave any reply. Hazrat Alee (Allaah be pleased with him) says that
I immediately came to Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with her]
and inquired from her.
That what is the best thing for the
women? Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah
be pleased with her] said, “That neither
should they [women] look at men and
nor should the men look at them.”
He says that I expressed Saiyyidah
Faatimah’s [Allaah be pleased with her]
reply to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam). Thus, the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
said, “Faatimah is a part of my heart
[she is the most beloved to me].”
(Bazzaar #526, Daar Qutnee, Kanzul Ummaal
#46012, Hilyatul Auliyaa vol-2, pgs.40,41)
The meaning of the statement of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) is this that she understood very well, and her reply is
certainly correct, and why should it not be like this, in the end she is
also a part of my body.
The order to lower the glance was for both men and women, after
that the special order for the women to cover their face was given. It
has been stated,
The giver of the news of unseen, tell
your wives and daughters and Muslim
women that they should keep a part of
their head sheets covered over their
faces. This will be more proper, that
they may be recognized, and they
should not be molested.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse #59)
65
In the era of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) in most
houses in the cities the toilet etc., were not in the houses. Therefore;
even the women of the noble elites, for the relief of nature needs
[defecation or urine ] had to go out of the populated areas. The illicit
people would follow them and would tease and joke with them. When
it was said to them that why do you do like this with honourable
noble women? They would say these are the slave women. They are
not honourable noble women, otherwise why would we even dare.
This verse was revealed for that. O My Beloved, say, it to your
wives, daughters and the women of the pious people that they must
come out by hiding their heads and faces with their Chaadar [sheets]
and Burqa [Is an enveloping outer garment worn by women to cover
themselves]. So, that due to the clothes there would be distinction
between them, and the slave women and the people would recognize
that they are the noble women, not slave women. Then the illicit
people would not follow etc., them and this way they will be saved
from the torments of the depraved people.
Since in the human body the most beautiful and superior place/ part
is the face and only by looking at the face a person feels attraction in
the heart. Therefore; it is ordered to conceal the face, so that no glance
of anyone would fall and nor there would be heartiest attraction.
Generally in the homes the women live casually, because there is
no ghaier Mahram [with whom Nikaah is allowed] in the house.
Therefore; the unknown people are ordered that they should not go
into the house of anyone without permission.
It is stated,
O the believers, enter not houses
other than your own, until you take
permission and salute [Salaam] the
residents thereof.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Noor, verse #27)
66
And if any such circumstance comes that a person has to ask anything
or take anything from a ghaier mahram [the one with whom Nikaah
is allowed] woman. Then it is stated,
And when you ask them (women)
for anything, ask them from behind a
curtain. This is for the purity of your
hearts and their hearts.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse #53)
Because this way your glance will not fall on their face, beauty,
elegance, adornment and embellishment. And their glance will not
fall on you. And the doors of pernicious [evil] things will not open.
And the heart will be purified from impure thoughts.
Therefore; Hazrat Anas (Allaah be pleased with him) says that I asked
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) for one of her children.
So, she held him over from behind the curtain by moving her hand.
(Fath-ul Qadeer)
Even though Hazrat Anas (Allaah be pleased with him) was a special
servant of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), and like
relatives would live near him. Even then Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah
be pleased with her) observed Pardah [veil] from him and did not come
in front [of him]. From the words of Almighty Allaah
[Behind the curtain] (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse #53) and by
the blessed and pious action of Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) it is learnt to come face to face is a cause of fitnah [here it
means to create disorder].
This is also learnt that at the time of necessity unknown men can take
things etc., from women, at the time of need they can also talk to the
women and the women are allowed to talk to them.
But this is the condition in it. As stated;
67
So, do not be so polite in your speech,
lest he in whose heart is a disease
should feel tempted.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse #32)
Since in the voice of a woman there is naturally a kind of softness,
delicacy and sweetness which does not stay without effecting.
Therefore; Almighty Allaah has ordered the women that when you
talk to unknown men then do not adopt a soft, fragile and sweet dialect
rather develop so much coarseness and dryness in your voice that
those illicit people would not associate any hopes from you by being a
victim of wrong thinking. It is hoped from the honest people that after
reading these few lines they will understand the importance of veiling
[pardah/hijaab] and will know that the protection of our dignity and
honour is only in Islaamic veiling [pardah/hijaab].
This lovely attribute was especially present in Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her) that she was firm on Pardah [veiling] and was
a persona of modesty and shyness. It is the saying of Hazrat Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) that the best thing for a woman is
this, that she would not see a Ghaier Mahram [with whom Nikaah is
allowed] and nor would a Ghaier Mahram see her. (Like it has been
mentioned before)
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) would say that
women should not look at the naked body of other women without
any serious need. If a woman sees any woman’s naked body, then she
should not describe the making /form of her figure [body] and praise
her proportional parts in front of her husband.
(Seerat-e-Faatimah)
Almighty Allaah also has the honour and consideration of her modesty
and shyness. Therefore; Hazrat Abu Aiyyuub Ansaari (Allaah be pleased
with him) and Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) says that the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
68
 On the Day of Judgement, a caller will
call from a veil that “O the ones, who
have gathered in the ground of Hashr
[Resurrection] lower your glances,
until Faatimah Binte Muhammad
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) would
pass by.” Therefore; along with
seventy thousand slave women, who
will be Hoories [Dwellers of Paradise]
she will pass by like electrical energy.
(Mustadrik Haakim # 4757, # 4728, Nuzhatul
Majaalis, vol-2, p.175, Usudul Ghaabah, vol-
6, pg.225, Kanzul Ummaal #34219, #34210,
Tibraani Kabeer #999)
May Almighty Allaah give the ability to the Muslim women to walk in
the footstep of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and
also observe veil [Pardah]. Aameen
Agar Panday Ze Darweeshay Pazeeree
Hazaar Ummat Ba Meerad Tuu Nameeree
(O My darling little daughter), if you take one advice from me this
humble person, then thousands of mothers may die but you (even after
dying) will not die
Batoolay Baash Pinhaañ Shaw azeeñ Asar
Keh Dar Aaghosh Shabbeeray Bageeree
You become Batool (adopt the way of Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa
(Allaah be pleased with her) and hide [Stay away from the ills of society]
from the world, so that you will be able to raise son like Saiyyidinaa
Imaam Husaien (Allaah be pleased with him) in your lap
(Allaamah Iqbaal, Paighaam-e-Mashriq)
69
Patience and Thankfulness
[Sabr Aur Razaa]
Almighty Allaah have stated,
1) And O My Beloved, be patient
and your patience is only by the grace
of Allaah.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Nahl, verse #127)
2) [O My Beloved Prophet] So be
patient, like the resolute Prophets had
done.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahqaaf, verse #35)
3) So, be patient with an admirable
patience.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ma’aarij, verse #5)
4) And be patient over what hurtful
things the infidels say and leave them
gracefully.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Muzzammil, verse
#10)
5) And if show n patient over their
(persecutions), then undoubtedly,
such patience is the best for those who
are patient.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Nahl, verse #126)
The Rewards of Patience in the World
6) Verily Allaah is with the patients.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Anfaal, verse #46)
It is learnt from this verse that those who have been patient they receive
especial association in the world.
70
 7) And (O Beloved) give glad
tidings to the patients (and steadfast).
Those when they are afflicted by some
misfortune say: “Surely, we belong
to Allaah and (verily) to Him is our
return.” Those are the ones upon
whom are blessings and Mercy from
their Rabb [Nourisher], and it is those
who are rightly guided.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Baqarah, verses
#155, 156, 157)
It is learnt from this verse that those people who at the time of calamity
do patience and endurance and say that our living and death is only for
Almighty Allaah. On them is the rain of blessings and graciousness of
Almighty Allaah.
8) And We appointed from amongst
them some leader’s (Imaam’s) they
kept guiding them by Our Command,
while they themselves endured
patiently.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter As Sajdah, verse #24)
It is learnt from this verse that in return of the patience Almighty Allaah
has made them the A’immah [Leaders] of Guidance.
9) And We made the people
[Nation], who were already
suppressed, inheritors of the eastern
and western parts of the land which
We had bountifully blessed. And
the gracious promise of your Rabb
[Nourisher] was fulfilled for the
Children of Israa’eel, because of their
patience.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Aa’raaf, verse
#137)
71
It is learnt from this verse that the nation of Bani Israa’eel [The
Progeny of Israa’eel] was made very weak with severe exploitation
and maltreatment by Pharaoh [Fir’aun]. It was only the reward of this
patience and endurance that they became the heirs of the Kingdom and
Governance of the country of Egypt.
10) Almighty Allaah says that Good character, invites towards Haqq
[The Truth], charismatic nature, the self-defense from evilness,
goodness and quality, these most beautiful qualities
And none is granted this great virtue but those, who are patient.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Fussilat, verse #35)
The reward of Patience in the Hereafter
11) But, those who endured
patience and did good deeds; for them
is forgiveness and a great reward.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Huud, verse #11)
12) Those shall be rewarded with
the highest upper apartment of the
paradise, the recompense of their
patience, and they will be received
there in with greetings and salutation
of peace.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Furqaan, verse
#75)
13) They will be given their reward
twice the recompense of their patience.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Qasaas, verse #54)
14) Surely those who are patiently
steadfast they shall be fully rewarded
without measure.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Az Zumar, verse #10)
72
 15) And, those who endured patience
for seeking the pleasure of their
Allaah, and establish the prayer, and
spent out of what We have provided
them in our path secretly and openly
and drive away evil by means of
goodness. For them is the profit of
the last abode. Everlasting Gardens
in which they will enter, and those
who are righteous from among their
fathers. And wives and off-springs
and angels shall enter unto them
from every door. Saying; Peace be
upon you for your patience. What an
excellent last abode you received.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Ar Ra’ad, verse #22,
23, 24)
Definition of the Patients [Saabireen]
In the Holy Qur’aan, Almighty Allaah praises his patient bondsmen.
16) And, remember Ismaa’eel and
Idrees [Enoch] and Zal Kifl [Ezekiel].
They were all men of patience.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Anmbiyaa, verse
#85)
17) Surely, We, found him (Aiyyuub
(Salutation on him) patient and enduring.
What an excellent worshipper he
was?
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter As Saad, verse #44)
18)
Said, (Hazrat Ibraaheem
(Salutation on him)O my son, I have
seen a dream that I am sacrificing you.
Now look, what is your opinion? He
73
replied, “O my father, do as you are
commanded, Allaah willing, you will
find me of the patients ones.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter As Saaffaat, verse
#102)
19) Those among them who believed
and counsels (each other) to be patient
and did counsel to remain merciful.
They are the people of the right side
(Are very fortunate).
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Balad, verse #17,
#18)
20) (I swear) by the time (of My
Beloved Prophet). Verily, man is
in a state of loss. Except those who
believe and do righteous deeds, and
(those) insist one another to accept the
truth, (those who) and kept urging one
another to be patient.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Asr, complete)
21) And the ones, who endure
patience and forgives, then certainly
it is of the acts of great courage and
determination.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapterAsh Shuuraa, verse #43)
Definition of Patience [Sabr]
22) The special legends have stated
that patience [sabr] is to stay firm with
Almighty Allaah on the Orders of the
Book [Holy Qur’aan] and Sunnah.
(Ghunyatut Taalibeen, vol-2, pg.328)
74
 23) Someone questioned Hazrat
Junaied Baghdadi (Allaah have mercy
on him) about patience. So, he said,
“To drink bitter medicine against the
human nature is patience [sabr].”
(Ghunyatut Taalibeen vol-2, pg.328)
24) And it has been stated that
patience [sabr] is the name to tolerate
calamity with pleasing-ness.
(Ghunyatut Taalibeen vol-2, pg.328)
25) And it has been stated the name
of patience [sabr] is not to complain.
(Ghunyatut Taalibeen vol-2, pg.328)
Khaatoon-e-Jannat [The Lady of the Paradise] Saiyyidah Faatimah
Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with her) was a persona of Sabr [patience], Shukr
[thankfulness], Zuhd [piety], Taqwaa [reliance], Hilm [tolerance],
Hayaa [modesty] and Razaa [contentedness]. Due to being, the body
and the part of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and having
special association and love with him these things were her inherited
physical and spiritual legacies. Therefore; even in extreme difficulty
and hardship she spent the time with patience and steadfastness and
would be thankful to Almighty Allaah in every condition. Hazrat
Imaam Husaien (Allaah be pleased with him) was only a child when the
fame of his expected martyrdom was pronounced. And this was also
known by everyone that his place of martyrdom is Karbalaa like it is
proven by several Ahaadees. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) had given the news of his martyrdom that, “This son of mine
Husaien [Allaah be pleased with him] will be martyred on the land of Iraq
which will be called Karbalaa, by the hands of my Ummah [nation].”
75
That there was no doubt left for us with
consensus, Ahle Baiet [The whole
sacred Family of Prophet] knew that
Husaien Bin Alee will be martyred in
At Taff meaning Karbalaa.
(Al Mustadrik Haakim #4862)
Therefore; Hazrat Ibne Abbaas (Allaah be pleased with him) says,
Even beside this Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) never
requested the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) that, O Dearest
Father, you are the Beloved Prophet of Allaah, the entire Universe
is benefitting by your mercies and your du’aa [supplications] are
mustajaab [accepted]. Please pray for mine this most beloved Husaien
that by staying protected from this catastrophic incident he would
live peacefully and safely. And his enemies would be destroyed and
devastated, and neither did Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her), herself ever prayed rather kept holding the strings of patience
and thankfulness with steadfastness. And she did not even ever utter
any such word from her tongue by which an odour would come against
patience and contentment. Just imagine what Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her) must have felt in her heart when she would
even imagined of that time. How ever by being happy in the happiness
of Almighty Allaah. She raised her most beloved into a young man
while embracing him to her chest, to shed his blood on the land of
Karbalaa, and to get his neck severed and to be martyred in the way
of Allaah. Even in severe hardship and difficulty she spent the days of
her life with patience and endurance, and never did any complain or
protest etc.
Sacred Departing [Wafaat Shareef]
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with
her) says that, when the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
became sick then Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) came.
For the details see my book with complete realities and events, “Shaam-e-Karbalaa.”
76
The honourable Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) saw her and
said, “Welcome my daughter,” and with love and affection made her sit
next to himself and spoke softly to her [slowly/whispered]. By which
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) started crying
bitterly. When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) saw her
sorrow and grief then again quietly whispered something to her, by
which she smiled. Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her)
says that, I inquired what did the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) said to you by which first you cried and then smiled. Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) said, “I do not like to
disclose the secrecy of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).”
After the sacred departing of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam), I [Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her)] said to
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her), “I give you the
promise and give you the mediation to honour that right which I have
on you, you must disclose that secrecy which the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) disclosed to you.” Now there is no discomfort in
disclosing that confidentiality. The matter is, “The first time the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “O Faatimah, the time of my
departing has come and I will be parting from you. So, you must keep
fearing Almighty Allaah and keep doing patience.” After hearing this
I started crying. When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
saw me deeply saddened then the second time, he said to me,
Although, all the respected companions and Ahle Baiet [Allaah be
pleased with them], were deeply saddened by the blessed departing of
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) but the distress Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) felt it is hard to describe.
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) would weep a lot. Hazrat
Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) says that, when the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) departed.
Faatimah would say like this, “Ah
my dearest father, he has become
beloved to his Rabb [Allaah], O my
dearest father, now he is stationed in
the gardens of Paradise, his Rabb will
honour him, when he will reach Him.
Almighty Allaah and His Prophets
will give Salaam [salutation] to him,
when he will meet them.”
(Al Mustadrik Haakim #4768, Jaami’ul-
Ahaadees #32686, Kanzul Ummaal # 8778)
Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) says that when the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) was buried. Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah
be pleased with her) said to the sacred Companion (Allaah be pleased with
them), “How did your hands endured to put sand on the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)?” All the Companions (Allaah be pleased with
them) started crying and said, “There is no excuse in front of the Divine

Are you not happy on this that you
are the Chieftess [honourable Lady]
of all the women of the world and the
Paradise, further said, amongst my
Ahle Baiet you will be the first one
who will meet me? After hearing this
I became happy and started smiling.
(Mishkaat #6138, Al Mustadrik #7715, Kanzul
Ummaal #37735, Tirmizee #3872, Muslim
#2450-98)
Taqdeer-e-Ilaahi [Decree of Almighty Allaah].”
Then Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) came to the sacred
grave and she placed a handful of
the sand of the sacred grave on to her
eyes and cried a lot and said these
verses,
“The one who will get the fragranced
sand of the sacred grave of the

77 78
 Prophet of Allaah (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam), he will not like the
fragrances of the entire world. The
severe calamities that have fallen
on me by your departing if it would
have fallen on the days then they
would have become nights.”
(Zarqaani Alal Mawaahib, vol-8, pg.293,
Madaarijun Nubuwwat, vol-2, pg.442)
When the second time she came for Ziyaarat [visitation] she said,
When the desire of meeting You deepen into severity, then I come
crying for the visitation of Your grave and I do complain, when I see
You are not replying
O the One resting in the sacred grave see my crying and weeping, in all
these difficulties Your remembrance is my only serenity
Even though apparently You are hidden from me in the
[fragranced] sand of the blessed grave, but You are not hidden from
my saddened heart
These verses have also been said by her.
My soul has been surrounded in pain and sorrow, sadness and remorse,
I wish this soul would also depart with pain and sorrow
There is no goodness in remaining alive after You and I do not cry but
only by this fear that perhaps my life would not be prolonged
(Madaarijun Nubuwwat, vol-2, pg. 444)
79
Due to the sadness of the departing and separation from the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) she was so grief-stricken, that
by her pain and sorrow other people were also affected. Therefore;
the Marsiyaah [elegiac poem], Hindah Binte Asaasah wrote on the
departing of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), these
verses are also included in it.
O Faatimah, in the sadness of this departed one, your crying has turned
my hair white and has made me old and weak
O Faatimah, be patient, certainly your calamity has made the people of
Tahaamah and Najd very sad
And all the dwellers of the land and water are included in it, this
calamity has not left anyone alone
(Tabaqaat Ibne Sa’ad, vol-2, pg.331)
The female camel [cow] of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) had left eating and drinking in the sadness of his departing.
(Madaarijun Nubuwwat, vol 2, pg.444) Therefore; Imaam Nasfee (Allaah be
pleased with him) says that, one night the female camel [named] “Asbaa”
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) met Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her).
Then she said, O the daughter of the
Prophet of Allaah, Salaam [Salutation]
on you. Do you want to give any
message to your father because I am
going to him? Thus; after hearing this
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) started crying. The female
camel kept her head on the laps of
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
80
 with her)and she immediately died.
Thus; she was buried after giving the
shroud. When the grave was dug after
three days then she was entirely not in
the grave.
(Nuzhatul Majaalis, vol-2, pg.176)
Hazrat Abu Jaf’ar (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
I had never seen [Hazrat] Faatimah
(Allah be pleased with her) laugh after the
(departing) of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) except on that
day, in which the weakness of her
illness had reached to the maximum.
And Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) only lived for six [6]
months after the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
(Hilyaatul Auliyaa, vol-2, pg.43, Tibraani
Kabeer #989, Mustadrik Haakim #4762)
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with
her) says that,
That Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) departed after six [6]
months of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and Hazrat
Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) buried
her in the night.
(Hilyatul Auliyaa, vol-2, pg.43, Mustadrik
Haakim #4762, Tibraani Kabeer # 989 )
Thus; Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) spent
these six [6] months crying in severe adversity due to parting from
her respected Father (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). On the day of
departing she took an excessive bath and after wearing sacred clean
clothes she said her Salaah [Namaaz]. Then she placed her right hand
81
under her cheek and lied down while facing the Qiblah and said, “I
give my soul in custody of the Almighty Allaah.” Therefore; on the
3rd Ramadaan ul Mubaarak 11th Hijri, in the eve of Tuesday, after
passing the difficult stages of parting, isolation, pain and sorrow, this
most Darling of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) went
to meet the Much-Elevated Grand Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam). In different narrations at the time of departing the age of Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) was almost twenty-two
[22] years.
Innaa Lil Laahi Wa Innaa Ilaiehi Raaji’oon
Surely, we belong to Allaah and to Him is our return
(Salawaatul Laahi Ta’aalaa Wa Salaamuhu Alaa Abeehaa Wa ‘Alaiehaa)
On her departing Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) said these verses,
Wherever there are two friends, in the end there will be separation,
and all calamities are less than the calamity of parting and sadness of
separation
The separation of Faatimah from me after the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is the evidence of this thing that no dear friends
can always stay together
(Al Mustadrik Haakim #4768)
By her sacred departing the respected Hasanaien, Hazrat Zaienab
and Hazrat Umme Kulsoom (Allaah be pleased with them) were deeply
saddened. The Shayr-e-Khudaa [the Lion of Allaah], Maulaa Mushkil
Kushaa [the Benefactor and Resolver of the Difficulties], Haider-e-
Karraar [the repeatedly attacking Lion] Hazrat Alee Murtazaa (Allaah
be pleased with him) whose bravery and courageousness had become an
example in the Arab and Non-Arab, who could not be saddened and
heartbroken even by greatest calamities and pain, by this unbearable
loss also his heart was broken into pieces.
82
 Burial Arrangement [Tajheez] and Burial [Takfeen]
Hazrat Umme Jaf’ar (Allaah be pleased with her) says that, Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) says that, she had said to Hazrat
Asmaa Binte Umaies (wife of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq) (Allaah be
pleased with her) that, “O Asmaa, these days the way the funeral of
the women are taken out, I do not like this, that on the body only a
sheet is placed, by which covering is not done completely rather the
body’s shape is visible.” Hazrat Asmaa [Allaah be pleased with her] said,
O Daughter of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) I saw a
way in Habshah, I will show that to
you. Then she fetched fresh branches
of the dates [trees], and placed them
on the wooden bed [charpai] like
bows and placed the cloth on top of it.
Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with
her) saw it and said, “This is a very
beautiful and elegant way, by this
way there cannot be a differentiation
in the funeral of male and female.
When I depart (then also make my
funeral like this) and you and Alee
both together give me bath and do not
include anyone.” Thus; when Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) departed then Hazrat Asmaa
and Hazrat Alee (Allaah be pleased with
them) gave her bath.
(Daar Qutni #1851, Kanzul Ummaal #37359,
Mustadrik #4769, #4763, Zarqaani Alal
Mawaahib, vol-4, pg.337, Al Mawaahib ul
Ladunniyah, vol-1, pg.483, Siyaru I’laamun
Nubalaa, pg.54, vol-Raashidoon, pg.54,
Zakhaairul Uqbaa, vol-1, pg.53 )
According to this will of hers, she was given bath by Hazrat Alee and
Hazrat Asmaa wife of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with
them) and similarly on her bed, on both the sides fresh branches were
placed and the cloth was placed on top.
83
Who led the Funeral prayers?
There are three statements regarding this, one is that Hazrat Alee
(Allaah has blessed his face) had led her funeral prayer. The second is
Hazrat Abbaas Bin Abdul Muttalib led her funeral prayer. And the
third is by the saying of Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) Hazrat
Abu Bakr had led her funeral prayer (Allaah be pleased with them).
Some people say that Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) had not
given the news of the departing of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah
be pleased with her) to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with
him). For this reason, he did not attend the funeral prayers. In regard
to this, it is stated that if Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) had
not informed him then by this it is not proven that Hazrat Abu Bakr
Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) was not informed at all. This is
impossible that the daughter of the Prophet of Allaah Hazrat Faatimah
Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with her) would be departed and the Ameerul
Mu’mineen [The Caliph of that Era Allaah be pleased with him] would
not be aware. And, when the one who gave bath to Hazrat Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and the one who prepared her
funeral was also the respected wife of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq
Hazrat Asmaa Binte Umaies (Allaah be pleased with them).
Those people who try to prove that there was a disagreement between
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and Hazrat Abu Bakr
Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) due to the reason of Fadak, and due
to this anger Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) did
not lead the funeral prayers. This is only a false accusation of those
people, in whose heart there is malice for the respected companions.
Otherwise the reality is there was no disagreement etc., between
Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with
them). (Like it will be stated in the following lines). And he attended
the funeral prayers and from several authentic narrations it is known
that he also led the funeral prayers. Therefore; in Tabaqaat Ibne
Sa’ad, vol-8, pg.29 it is narrated with two certifications,
84
 That Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah
be pleased with him) led the funeral
prayers of Faatimah Binte Rasoolul
Laah (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and
said four Takbeer.
(Ar Riyaaz un Nazarah, vol-1, pg.176)
Famous historian Allaamah Ibne Kaseer [Allaah have mercy on him] has
written this narration from Saiyyidinaa Abdul Laah Ibne Abbaas (Allaah
be pleased with them) that,
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah
be pleased with him) led the funeral
prayers of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her) and said four
Takbeer.
(Al Bidaayah Wan Nihaayah, vol-1, pg.98)
And in the summary of Nahaj-ul Balaaghah, Ibne Abee Al Hadeed,
vol-4, pg.100, this narration is clearly present that,
Undoubtedly Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah
be pleased with him) led the funeral
prayers of Hazrat Faatimah (Salutation
on her) and read four Takbeer.
Saiyyidul Muhaqqiqeen Hazrat Maulana Shaah Abdul Haqq Muhaddis
Dehlvi (Allaah have mercy on him) copies with the reference of ‘Faslul
Khitaab’ and in Ar Riyaazun Nazarah that Saiyyidinaa Imaam Ja’far
As Saadiq narrates from his father Saiyyidinaa Imaam Muhammad Al
Baaqir and he from his father Saiyyidinaa Imaam Zaienul Aabideen
Alee Bin Husaien (Allaah be pleased with them) that when Hazrat Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) departed. Then Hazrat Abu Bakr
Siddeeq, Hazrat Umar, Hazrat Usmaan, Hazrat Abdur Rahmaan Bin
Uaaf and Hazrat Zubaier Bin Al Awwaam (Allaah be pleased with them)
came. When the funeral was placed so that the Salaah [Namaaz]
would be read then Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) said to Hazrat
Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him) [please] come forward and lead
the Salaah [Namaaz]. Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him) said
85
to Hazrat Alee that, in your presence should I come forward. Hazrat
Alee (Allaah be pleased with him) said, Fawal Laahi Laa Yusallee Alaiehaa
Ghaieruka[Oath in the name of Allaah, beside you no one else will
lead the Saalah [Namaaz] of Hazrat Saiyyidah. Thus; Hazrat Abu Bakr
[Allaah be pleased with him] came forward and led the funeral prayers and
read four Takbeer.

Taareekhul Al Waaqidee)
Allaamah Imaam Alaa-ud-Deen Bin Abee Bakr Bin Mas’ood Al
Kaashaanee Al Hanafee (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
It is narrated that the funeral prayer of
Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) was led by Hazrat Abu
Bakr [Allaah be pleased with him] and [he]
read four Takbeer.
(Al Mabsoot, vol-2, pg.63)
Allaamah Abdur Rahmaan Safooree (Allaah have mercy on him) says that
when Saiyyidah [Allaah be pleased with her] departed,
Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him)
led the funeral prayer by the order
of [Hazrat] Alee (Allaah be pleased with
him).
(Nuzhatul Majaalis, vol-2, pg.167)
It is clearly understood by these narrations that Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah
be pleased with him) attended the funeral of Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa
(Allaah be pleased with her) and by the saying of Hazrat Alee (Allaah be
pleased with him) led the funeral prayer.
86
Allaamah Ibne Aabideen Shaami (Allaah have mercy on him) says that,
It is narrated that when Hazrat Hasan
(Allaah be pleased with him) departed
then Hazrat Husaien (Allaah be pleased
with him) moved forward Sa’eed Bin
Aas the Governor of Madinah for the
funeral prayer and said that, “If this
was not a tradition that the Caliph of
the Era leads the Salaah then I would
have not at all placed you forward.”
(Ibne Asaakir, vol-13, pg.293, Zakhaairul
Uqbaa, vol-1, pg.141, Al Isteeyaab, vol-1,
pg.389, Usudul Ghaabah, vol-1, pg.493,
Siyaru I’laamun Nubalaa, vol-3, pg.277,
Seerat Halabiyah, vol-3, pg.518)
By this saying of Hazrat Husaien (Allaah be pleased with him) it is known
that in the era of the Khulafaa-e-Raashideen [Four Caliphs] this was the
tradition that the Caliph of the Era would lead the Salaah [Namaaz].
Therefore; without any doubt Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be
pleased with him) led the funeral prayers of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her), because he was at that time the righteous
Caliph. (Al Hamdu Lil Laahi Rabbil Aalameen) [All
Praise to Allaah who is the Creator of all the Worlds].
After the funeral prayers Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) was buried in Jannatul Baqee [The graveyard Baqee Shareef].
The Issue of Fadak
Some people say that after the departing of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased
with him) tampered the rights of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah
be pleased with her). And the garden of Fadak which the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) had given to Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) as a gift, from his inheritance that came in the share of
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) it was not given. For this
reason, Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) became
87
angry with Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him), and
remained angry till the last breath, and did not even talk to him. And
since the displeasure of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) is the displeasure of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam). Therefore; Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him) has made
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) unhappy by making
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) unhappy.
The matter is nothing else besides this that on Saiyyid-us Siddeeqeen
[The Chief of the Truthfuls] Hazrat Siddeeq-e-Akbar (Allaah be pleased
with him) this is only a slander and a baseless, degraded allegation
which has no reality. Now after reading few lines the reality of this
degraded allegation will be cleared to the readers like showing mirror
to the sun. And you will be able to fully evaluate the ignorance and
the incompetence of those who have applied this allegation. Before
exposing this reality firstly, it is important that the respected readers
are introduced to “Fadak” that what is “Fadak?”
In [dictionaries] Al Qaamoos, Lisaanul Arab, Misbaahul Lughaat and
Saheeh Bukhaari it is stated that “Fadak” is a village. Which is nearby
Khaiebar, it is at a distance of one Manzil from Khaiebar and two or
three Manzil from Madinah Munawwarah, where there are many trees
of dates and springs of water. And how did it came in custody, about that,
it is written in Fatahul Baari, Futuuhul Buldaan, Taareekh-e-Tibree
and Taareekh-e-Kaamil Ibne Aaseer that when in the seventh [7th]
Hijri Khaiebar was captured then the rest of the detained people were
locked inside the castle. And when the hardship of besieging increased
then they said in the honourable presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) that their blood should be forgiven, and they
should be allowed to leave Khaiebar. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) accepted this plea. After coming out from Khaiebar
they said that, you may let us stay in Khaiebar too, then we will present
in your honour half from the reproduction of Khaiebar. And half we
will keep to ourselves as a payment for the labour. Even beside this
you will have the right to take us out of Khaiebar whenever you want.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) accepted this condition.
Manzil is one day journey by walk. [T/N]
88
When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) came back
from Khaiebar, then he sent Muhaiyyisah Bin Mas’ood Al Ansaari
(Allaah be pleased with him) for the propagation of the religion. The
inhabitants of Fadak were Jews, and their leader Yuusha Bin Nuun
was also a Jew. They sent a message of friendship in the honour of
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and like the people of
Khaiebar also sent an offer for half from the reproduction of Fadak.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) accepted it. This way
“Khaiebar” and “Fadak” came in the control of the Islaam. Khaiebar
was conquered through war and Fadak was without war with peace.
In the legislature of Shari’ah the property or wealth which comes in
custody without fighting it is called Fa’e. It is learnt that Fadak and
its earnings is the wealth of Fa’e and the details of Fa’e wealth is
clearly stated in the Holy Qur’aan. It has been stated that,
Whatever Fa’e [obtained wealth]
Allaah has given to His Messenger
from the people of the town, it is for
Allaah and for the Messenger and the
near relatives and the orphans and
the needy and the wayfarers. (verse #7)
Fa’e [obtained wealth] is for the poor
refugees who were driven from their
homes and their possessions, they
are seeking grace of Allaah and His
pleasure, and assisting Allaah and
His Messenger. These are the truthful
person.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Hashr, verses 7,8)
It is clearly proven by these verses that the wealth of “Fa’e” which
comes in custody without war etc., it is no one’s personal property
rather its heirs is the Prophet and beside the close family of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) also all those Muslims who were
poor, needy and helpless etc.
89
This is an accepted action that if any King or Prophet or Imaam or
Chief with his governance and influence, power and force attains any
property etc., by fighting from the enemy or without fighting with
compromise that does not become his personal property. And neither
does he has the authority of it that he would give this in custody to his
children. Rather; in worldly life he only has the Governing powers
and authority that he would spend it according to the law. And nor
after his death any inheritance will be in succession from it that it is
distributed as a legacy to his inheritors. When this is proven that this
is not the personal property of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam). Because the personal property is that which is received
inheritance and is bought from the self-earned money. Here both
these things are not present. Then how could it be possible from the
gracious personality of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
that from this endowment property which also has the right of poor,
helpless Muslim he would only gift it to Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) and establish it as her property. From this allegation,
it can be imposed that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
abducted the wealth of the poor and helpless and gave it to Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) and did not care about the saying of
Almighty Allaah [We seek Allaah’s protection from
such thing]. Any Muslim cannot even imagine about any such thing,
by which a blemish would be placed on the personality of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
Our believe is that the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) had
the administrative possession of it as a trusty and custodian. And then
by the Orders of Almighty Allaah he would spend it. And when every
year the amount of harvest etc., which would come from Fadak, its
value would not be enough that it would make the Muslim free from
the concern of income.
Thus, the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) by separating the
sparing needs of his family and friends he would get it distributed
amongst the deserving Muslims and even besides this, in the period
of the Prophethood what was the financial conditions of the Muslims
it is apparent to everyone.
90
But now let’s also listen to the opponents, that in their eyes what is
the garden of Fadak? Therefore; their certified and authentic scholar
Mullaa Baaqir Majlisee in “ Bihaarul Anwaar” narrates from Hazrat
Imaam Ja’far As-Saadiq (Allaah be pleased with him) that he said, “One
day the famous Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) was resting in
the house of the leader of the innocents Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) when Jibraa’eel-e-Ameen came and after coming
said, “O Muhammad get up, Almighty Allaah has ordered me that
with my feathers I would limit the boundaries of “Fadak” for you.”
Therefore; the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) went with
him. He came back after a little while, and on the asking of Faatimah
stated that, “For me Jibraa’eel-e-Ameen has established the limits
of the boundaries of Fadak with his feathers.” In this narration it has
not been stated that what are the established boundaries of “Fadak,”
and they were established for which reasons. But in the second
narration of this book which has been written by Mulla Baaqir, the
description of the boundaries of Fadak is also stated, therefore; like
this Caliph Haaroon Rasheed had requested several times to Hazrat
Imaam Moosaa Kaazim Razaa (Allaah be pleased with him) that he should
take Fadak but he continuously kept refusing it. In the end when the
Caliph stressed a lot then he said that I will not take Fadak until it
is given to me with all its boundaries. The Caliph promised to give
Fadak with all its boundaries and inquired about the boundaries. The
Imaam Saahib said that, its first boundary is “Adan” and the second
boundary is “Samarkand.” After hearing this the face of the Caliph
got perturbed. Then the Imaam Saahib said that the third boundary
is “Africa” and the fourth boundary is the “edge of the sea, which
is joined with Armenia.” The Caliph said that, you have not left
anything for us. Imaam Saahib said, “That is why I said after hearing
the boundaries you will not give anything.”
Beside regarding this there is one more narration in this [book],
which is not different from the above text but there is controversy
in its boundaries. Therefore; in it “the first boundary is El Arish of
Egypt, the second boundary is Daumatul Jandal, the third boundary
Uhad and the fourth boundary is said to be the Ocean. After hearing
91
which the Caliph Haaroon Rasheed said, “This is the entire world.”
So, the Imaam Saahib said that, all this was in the custody of the
Jews, Almighty Allaah without war and fighting has placed it in
“Fa’e” and ordered that, “Give all this to your daughter Faatimah.”
This thing is also very disturbing that they do not have any other
narration otherwise it was not strange that India and other Islaamic
countries, which the Muslims had captured later, they would have
also definitely come in the order of Fadak. Anyway, it is clearly
proven by this narration that the short name of the Islaamic Kingdom
is “Fadak.” Which the Almighty Allaah had done “Fa’e” without war
and fighting to his Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). And has
ordered that give this entirely in the custody of Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her). In front of the learned people what is the
value of these narrations is obvious. At present, what can be said
about it beside this, [We should cry on such
intellect and understanding]? What else can we say?
The Inheritance of the Prophets
[Salutation on them]
What is the inheritance of the Prophets? And is their leftover
inheritance distributed amid their successors or not? Firstly its reply
is given from two Saheeh [authentic] narrations from the authentic
books of the Shi’a belief “Asool-e-Kaafi.”
The Imaamul A’immah Hazrat Imaam Jaf’ar As-Saadiq (Allaah be
pleased with him) says that,
Undoubtedly; the scholars are the
heirs of the Prophets, and since the
Prophets (Salutation on them) do not
leave Dirham and Dinaar [currency]
in their inheritance rather their
inheritance is the discourses of Ilm
[Knowledge] and Hikmat [Wisdom].
Thus; whichever person takes some
92
 portion from their knowledgeable
discourses he is a great successor.
(Usool-e-Kaafi with Sharah Saafi, vol-1,
pg.83)
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam)said that, the excellence of
the scholar on an ignorant worshipper
is like that, on the night of the
fourteen [14th] is the excellence of
the moon on all the stars. Since; the
scholars are the heirs of the Prophets
and undoubtedly the inheritance
of the Prophets is not Dirham and
Dinaar [currency] rather they go by
leaving [behind] knowledge. So, the
person who takes portion from this
knowledge he takes a great legacy.
(Usool-e-Kaafi with Sharah Saafi, vol-1, pg.83)
From both these narrations it is proven that the inheritance of the
Prophets [Salutation on them] is not wealth, rather it is knowledge.
From the books of the Ahle Sunnat
Ameerul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidinaa Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be
pleased with him) says that,
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that (after my
departing), my heirs will not distribute
Dinaar etc., (as an inheritance) and
whatever I will leave it will be charity
after the expenses of my wives and
the wages of the workers.
(Bukhaari #6730, Muslim #1761-56,
Mishkaat # 5976)
93
Hazrat Abu Huraierah (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that there is no heir
of the wealth of us the Prophets,
whatever we leave behind it is
Sadaqah [charity, benefaction for
the poor].
(Bukhaari #6729, Muslim #1760-55,
Mishkaat #5975)
Hazrat Amar Bin Haaris (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) did not leave Dirham,
Dinaar and slave men or slave
women beside a white mule on which
he would ride, some weapons and
some land. And he [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam] donated all this in charity
for the travellers.
(Bukhaari #4461)
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with
her) says that,
After the departing of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
the sacred wives decided that they
would demand for the inheritance
by sending Hazrat Usmaan to Hazrat
Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with them).
Ummul Mu’mineen [Allaah be pleased
with her] says I said, [to the respected
wives of the Prophet] you do not
know that the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) had said,
there is no heir for the wealth of the
94
 Prophets whatever we leave [behind] Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) when Hazrat Saiyyidah
it is charity. Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) demanded Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah
(Bukhaari #6730, Muslim #1758-51) be pleased with him) that from the leftover wealth, the wealth of Fa’e
should be distributed. Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him)
It is proven by the narrations of the opponents that the inheritance of
refused due to which Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
all the respected Prophets [Salutation on them] is knowledge and their
with her) became angry and till she remained alive she did not talk to
heirs are the scholars and beside this whatever they leave behind
him. And to make Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with
is like charity. When this has been proven that the inheritance of
her) angry is like making Allaah and His Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
the respected Prophets [Salutation on them] is not distributed amid
Wa Sallam) angry. Therefore; Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him)
their progeny because their legacy is knowledge and beside this
made Allaah and the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) angry
what is left, that is charity. Then saying this that Hazrat Abu Bakr
by making Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) angry.
Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) has tampered the share of Saiyyidah
Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with her) and the garden of Fadak
Answer: There is no such words in Bukhaari and Muslim by which it
which had come in her portion from the inheritance of the Holy
is proven that Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) got
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) it was not given to her, is what a
angry at Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) or Hazrat
great exploitation and an evidence of ignorance.
Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) had made her angry. On
her demanding Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him)
Suppose if the garden of Fadak was distributed as an inheritance then
only said this much to her that, O Saiyyidah [Allaah be pleased with her], it
it was not only the portion of Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased
is the saying of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) that we
with her]. Since; at the time of the departing of the Holy Prophet
Prophets do not make anyone the heirs of our wealth rather whatever
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) he had nine wives and Hazrat Abbaas
we leave behind it is charity. And Oath in the name of Allaah, I will
[Father’s brother] was also present, are they not the righteous heirs
not do any kind of alternation or change in the charity of the Holy
according to the Shari’ah Law? And amongst the nine wives one
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) instead I will keep in the same
was the daughter of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with
condition as it was in the era of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
him) (Aaishah Siddeeqah) and the daughter of Hazrat Umar (Allaah be
Wa Sallam). And I will enforce the same orders on it which he use to
pleased with him) (Hazrat Hafsah) (Allaah be pleased with them) were also
enforce. Yes, (according to his era) the progeny of the Holy Prophet
present.
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) will also eat from it.
(Muslim Shareef, #1759-52)
Did Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) also had some
animosity with them that he even deprived them from their rights?
It is stated in Bukhaari that by hearing this Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah
The reality is Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him)
(Allaah be pleased with her) became furious and till she remained she did not
deprived no one of their rights. Rather he [Allaah be pleased with him] did
talk about this matter. The words of the narrator of sacred Hadees are
only according to the Book [Qur’aan], and the Sunnah.
[Hazrat Faatimah Allaah be pleased with her
became displeased]. The thing that is worth paying attention to is this
Objections and Replies that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him) himself did
Objection #1: not say any such word which would be a cause of her anger. Rather
It is stated in Bukhaari and Muslim that after the departing of the

95 96
he presented the statement of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) and said that, Oath in the name of Allaah, I will act according
to the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and
will not do any change or alternation in it.
Hence; after hearing this Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) did not even say that you have said wrong, the inheritance
of the Prophets [Salutation on them] is distributed therefore; my dear
father’s will also be distributed and your words and action are against
the words and action of my dear father’s (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
So; undoubtedly, this anger was only for a time being which later did
not stay at all, because Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased
with her] came to know about the statement of her Respected Father
[Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam] and Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) became happy with Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased
with him).
Therefore; Imaam Baiehaqi [Allaah have mercy on him] narrated Saheeh
Hadees from Sha’bee.
That Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be
pleased with him) came to Hazrat
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) for
condolence, so Hazrat Alee (Allaah
has blessed his face) said to Hazrat
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her)
that, Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with
him) wants the permission to visit
you. Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) said, do you like that I give
him the permission? Hazrat Alee
(Allaah has blessed his face) said, yes.
So; Hazrat Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) gave the permission. Hazrat
Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him)
came to Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah
97
(Allaah be pleased with her) and made
her contented till Hazrat Saiyyidah
Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her)
became happy and Hazrat Abu Bakr
(Allaah be pleased with him) also became
happy.
(Baiehaqi #12735, Zarqaani, vol-8, pg.7,
Seerat-e-Halabiyah, Ibne Sa’ad, vol-8,
pg.27, Ar Riyaaz un Nazarah, vol-1, pg.176,
Siyaru I’laamun Nubalaa, vol-Raashidoon,
pg.53, Al Bidaayah Wan Nihaayah, vol-5, pg.
310, vol-6, pg. 366, Madaarijun Nubuwwat,
vol-2, pg.445 )
Beside this Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Allaah be pleased with him)
had not done any misconduct, rather he presented the verbal and
practical Sunnah of the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
and only acted upon it. Then also how thoughtful he was regarding
the unhappiness of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah [Allaah be pleased with
her] that he came and contented Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) and she also became happy because she had found out
what Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him) had said it is the truth
and correct.
Even after this if no one believes then the question is, when it was the
era of Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face) at that time the whole force
and empowerment was in his hand. Then why he did not hand over
the garden of Fadak to the children of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah
(Allaah be pleased with her)? When it is also the saying of Almighty
Allaah that give the valuables to the owners of the valuables. Why he
did not give the righteous their rights?
If the reply of this would be that the Ahle Baiet do not take back
the embezzled wealth because this is against their elevated grandeur.
Then also according to the deniers, the Caliphate, was also the right
of Hazrat Alee (Allaah has blessed his face), which was embezzled by the
third Caliph then why did Hazrat Alee (Allaah be pleased with him) and
Hazrat Hasan (Allaah be pleased with him) took the embezzled Caliphate?

truthful]. (Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Baqarah, verse #111)
Objection #2:
It is the statement of Almighty Allaah, [Allaah
commands you concerning your children (regarding inheritance)]
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Nisaa, verse #11). In which the Laws of
inheritance are stated which are general, the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is not exempted from it. Therefore; the way our
inheritance is distributed to our children the inheritance of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) should also be distributed to his
progeny. Hazrat Abu Bakr (Allaah be pleased with him) has disobeyed the
Orders of Almighty Allaah by not distributing the inheritance of the
Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam].
Answer: In the verse (Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Nisaa,
verse #11). The Ummah is addressed. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is exempted with consensus. And the proof of this is,
after describing the Law of inheritance Almighty Allaah have stated,
These are the (fixed) limitation by
Allaah, and whoever obeys Allaah
and His Messenger, will be admitted
to Paradise….
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter, An Nisaa, verse#13)
It is learned that this order is for the Ummah of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). [Prophet] Mustafaa (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) is exempted from this, otherwise what will be the meaning
of ? [Obey Allaah and His Prophet].
In several places in the Holy Qur’aan pronoun “Kum” [addressing
plural] is stated from which the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) with the consensus of the opponents is exempted. For example.
Marry those who seem good to you,
two, three, or four.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter, An Nisaa, verse #3)
99
In this sacred verse also the Ummah is addressed. The Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is exempted from it. Therefore; in his
Nikaah at a time, there were nine wives.
And, do not falsify your deeds.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter, Muhammad, verse
#33)
And, know that the Messenger of
Allaah is among you.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter, Al Hujuraat, verse
#7)
In both these verses the [word] Kum, addressed pronoun is
present but the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is exempted.
Similarly; in the Ummah is addressed. The Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) is exempted from it.
Objection #3: If the inherited wealth of the respected Prophets is not
distributed to their inheritors then in this sacred verse,
[And Sulaiemaan [Solomon] became the successor] (Holy Qur’aan,
chapter An Naml, verse #16), what is the meaning of this?
Answer: In this verse the inheritance that is mentioned by this it does
not mean inheritance of wealth rather by this it means the inheritance
of knowledge. If by this, it meant inheritance of wealth then only
Hazrat Sulaiemaan (Salutation on him) would have not been the heir.
Beside if it meant only the inheritance of wealth then what was the
need of mentioning it. Without any doubt Hazrat Sulaiemaan was the
son of Hazrat Daawood [David ] [Salutation on them] and the son is the
heir of the wealth of the father. The special explanation of Almighty
Allaah is a clear evidence regarding this matter that the inheritance
was of the knowledge and was not of the wealth, otherwise can the
inheritance of worldly wealth be a cause of excellence and greatness
of any Prophet (Salutation on them)?
Almighty Allaah says, [And We bestowed great
100
knowledge to Daawood and Sulaiemaan] (Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Naml,
verse #15), meaning that the knowledge, wisdom and the Prophethood
which We have bestowed to Daawood (Salutation on him) its heir would
be his blessed son Hazrat Sulaiemaan (Salutation on him). A decisive
narration from the authentic book of the Shi’a faith, “Asool-e-Kaafi,”
is presented to the readers.
Hazrat Imaam Ja’far As-Saadiq (Allaah be pleased by him) says that,
Meaning undoubtedly Sulaiemaan
(Salutation on him) became the heir
of Daawood (Salutation on him) and
Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) became the heir of Sulaiemaan
(Salutation on him).
It is learnt that the legacy of Daawood was not in wealth rather it was
of knowledge of which the heir became Sulaiemaan and the heir of
the legacy of Hazrat Sulaiemaan (Salutation on him) became the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). Even though many generations
were passed between our Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
and Hazrat Sulaiemaan (Salutation on him). Can anyone prove that what
was the leftover wealth of Hazrat Sulaiemaan (Salutation on him) of
which the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) became the heir?
Objection #4:
Hazrat Zakariyyaa (Salutation on him) made this supplication,
Then bestow me from Yourself
anyone may take over my work he
should be my heir and be the heir of
the children of Ya’qoob [Jacob]
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter, Maryam, verse #5,
6)
Answer: By this verse there is a severe rejection of the opponents
and the evaluation of their knowledge can be fully assessed. Hazrat
101
Zakariyyaa (Salutation on him) is requesting, O Allaah, bestow me a son
who would become the heir of me and the Ahle
Ya’qoob [Progeny of Ya’qoob]. Hazrat Yahyaa (Salutation on him) could
have become the heir of Hazrat Zakariyyaa (Salutation on him) but how
would he be the heir of the progeny of Ya’qoob?
Even though there is a distance of two thousand [2000] years between
Hazrat Zakariyyaa (Salutation on him) and Hazrat Ya’qoob (Salutation on
him). Was the wealth of the Progeny of Ya’qoob (Salutation on him) still
lying undivided, the heir of which Hazrat Yahyaa (Salutation on him)
was to be made?
Actually, the meaning of this verse is this, O Allaah, grant me a son
who would be my heir of Prophet hood after me and would be an heir
of my wisdom and knowledge and this was the legacy of the Progeny
of Ya’qoob [Salutation on him].
The issue of Fadak, the inheritance of the Prophets [Salutation on them]
and the answer to its objections have been briefly presented. For the
just people only this much is enough, and for other even volumes
over volumes of evidence is useless.
May Almighty Allaah give us the understanding of the religion and
make our hearts free from malice and envy.
[All praise belongs to Allaah Who has guided us to this, and we

105 106
Since all the respected companions knew that the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) has more love for Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat
Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) therefore; the day it would be her
turn, on that day the companions (Allaah be pleased with them) would send
presents and gifts in his honour and would acquire his happiness
and pleasure. Some sacred wives felt this seriously, so they said to
Hazrat Umme Salamah (Allaah be pleased with her) that you may say in
the honourable presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) that he may say it to the people that where ever I would be
you should send gifts and presents do not do it especially on the day
of Aaishah. When Hazrat Salamah (Allaah be pleased with her) said this
to him so the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said to her,
O Umme Salamah, do not give
me annoyance regarding Aaishah
because amid my wives when there
is anyone other than Aaishah then
revelations do not come to me. And
when Aaishah is with me in my quilt
then also revelations come to me.
(Kanzul Ummaal #34365, Siyaru I’laamun
Nubalaa, vol-2, pg.142, Subulal Hudaa, vol-
11, pg.172, Bukhaari Shareef # 2581)
In the end all the sacred wives decided and called Hazrat Faatimah
Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with her) and made her agree on this that she
would say to the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). Hazrat
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased with her) presented the request
from their side. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
O my daughter, the one whom I will
keep as my beloved, will you not
keep her beloved? She said, why not.
Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be pleased
with her) came back and told the
sacred wives, they again tried to send
her but Saiyyidah Faatimah (Allaah be
pleased with her) refused.
(Bukhaari Shareef #2581)
107
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) would often keep
head on the lap of Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) and go to
sleep. Would eat with her on one food mat rather eat in one dish. In
eating the condition of love was such that he would suck the same
bone which Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) would suck. In
bowl he would place his mouth and drink from the same place where
Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) would touch her lips.
(Musnad Abu Daawood Tayaalsee #1617)
Hazrat Anas (Allaah be pleased with him) says that a Persian was the
neighbour of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). He invited
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), So, the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, along with Aaishah
also? ? He said, no. The Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, then I also do not accept. The neighbour
went away. This neighbour again came with the same question and
answer was done. Then he again came for the third time. Now again
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said the same thing that
Aaishah will also be there. He said, yes sure. Then the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and Hazrat Aaishah [Allaah be pleased with
her] went to his house.
(Muslim Shareef #2037-139, Subulal Hudaa, vol-11, pg.176)
The interpreters of the Hadees say that the reason of his not accepting
the invite alone was, on that day there was starvation [by self-choice]
in the house. And it’s far from his love and care, graciousness and
kindness that he would leave the wife behind hungry in the house
and would eat himself.
Imaam-e-Rabbaani Hazrat Mujaddid Alf-e-Saani (Allaah be pleased with
him) says that, earlier the practice of this faqeer [himself] was this that
if the food was cooked then he would forward its rewards especially
to the sacred souls of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam),
Ameer ul Mu’mineen, Hazrat Faatimah and Hazrat Hasnaien (Allaah
be pleased with them). And would not include the names of the sacred
wives [Allaah be pleased with them]. So,
108
 One night I saw in the dreams that
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) is honourably sitting. I,
[humble person] presented Salaam
in his honour, he did not pay
attention towards me [this faqeer]
and turned his luminous face on the
other direction and said to me, that
I eat food in the house of Aaishah
(Siddeeqah). Whoever wants to
send me food, they should send to
the house of (Hazrat) Aaishah. At
this time, I found out that the cause
of his not paying attention was this
that I do not include Hazrat Aaishah
Siddeeqah [Allaah be pleased with her] in
the meal. After this I include Hazrat
Aaishah Siddeeqah rather all the
sacred wives rather include all the
Ahle Baiet and make all the Ahle
Baiet mediation for myself.
(Maktuubaat Shareef, Daftar-2, part 6,
Maktuub #36)
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) says that
once the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, Aaishah, I
find out when you are happy or unhappy with me. She says, that I
said how O Prophet of Allaah [Yaa Rasoolal Laah Sallal Laahu Alaieka
Wa Sallam]?
He said, when you are happy then
you say Oath by Rabb-e-Muhammad,
and when you are unhappy then you
say, Oath by Rabb-e-Ibraaheem.
Hazrat Aaishah [Allaah be pleased with
her] said, yes only with tongue I stop
taking your name [though], the heart
is still overflowing with your love.

night, he would awake Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah [Allaah be pleased
with her], she would also get up and read Salaah [Namaaz] with him.
When it would be morning then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) after reading the Sunnah Salaah would lie on one side
of his body and would talk to Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be
pleased with her). Sometimes he (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and Hazrat
Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) would remain busy the
same way during the whole night in worshipping, the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laah Alaiehi Wa Sallam) would be the Imaam [leader] and Hazrat
Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) would be the Muqtadee
[follower].
Even though there was maid present in the house but Ummul
Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah [Allaah be pleased with her] would do the
work of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) with her own
hands. She would ground the flour herself; she would mix it herself.
She would cook herself. She would prepare the bed herself. She
would herself bring and keep the water for ablution. She would comb
in his sacred head with her own hand. She would rub the perfume on
the sacred body. She would wash his clothes with her own hands. At
the time of sleeping she would keep the miswaak [stem for brushing
teeth] and water at the head side. She would wash the miswaak for
the reason of cleaning.
Before departing from this mortal world when the illness came to
touch the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)) blessed sacred
body, in those days the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
gathered all the sacred wives and acquired the permission from these
respected ladies to stay with Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be
pleased with her). They happily gave the permission so the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) spend the last days of the worldly life in
the sacred room [Hujrah] of Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah
Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her).
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) says
that my brother Abdul Rahmaan came in my room. He had fresh
111
miswaak with him. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
looked towards this miswaak. I took that miswaak from him, kept
it in my mouth and chewed it and made it soft in the mouth and
gave it to him (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) used it. In his last moments Almighty Allaah
collected mine and his sacred saliva [liquid] of the mouth together.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) departed in my arms.
At the time of departing his (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) blessed face
was next to my heart [chest].
(Ibne Aseer, vol-2, pg.185, Ibne Sa’ad, vol-2, pg.180, Siyaru I’laamun Nubalaa, vol-
2, pg. 465, Subulal, Hudaa, vol-12, pg. 261)
This same sacred Hujrah [room] of Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat
Aaishah [Allaah be pleased with her], the last resting place of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam), now till the Day of Judgement
has become a place of visitation for the humans, jinn’s and angels.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) has great love for
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with
her) and its reason was not beauty and elegance rather it was her
religiousness and the internal excellence and qualities. This thing
was not hidden from the vision of the Prophethood (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) that her personality will become full of beneficence and
blessings. And the Ummah will receive one third religion through
her.

 Excellence [Faaza’il] and Praises [Manaaqib]
Almighty Allaah says,
Allaah only desires this to keep you
away from all uncleanliness O people
of the house (of the Prophet) and
keep you well purified after cleaning
you thoroughly.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse#33)
It is proven that the sacred wives are certainly the Ahle Baiet and
this is also certainly true that Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah, Hazrat
Alee, Hazrat Hasan, Hazrat Husaien and other relatives like Hazrat
Abbaas, and Ja’far and Hamzah (Allaah be pleased with them) are also
included in the Ahle Baiet, but the sacred wives are the foremost
Ahle Baiet [Allaah be pleased with them].
Here the meaning of Tatheer is, purity of the heart, cleaning of the
character and the piety of apparent and hidden self that highest status
which Almighty Allaah bestows to His most beloved worshippers.

Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) due to being the
most beloved and the most superior wife is the most worthy of these
statuses and specialties because Almighty Allaah has chosen her for
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) Therefore; the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
That when (Hazrat) Khadeejah

Jibraa’eel came in green silky cloth
with the visage of Aaishah and said,
O Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa

(Al Mustadrik #6727, Kanzul Ummaal

pleased with her) will be with him on the same station.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said,
Among men many fully perfect have

was no one more fully perfect beside

The biggest evidence of the greatness of Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat
Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her) is this that when the
hypocrites made vicious allegation in her honour and dignity
and imposed an accusation on her then Almighty Allaah gave the
confirmation of her sanctity and labelled the accusers cursed in
the world and hereafter and gave them the warnings of perturbing
torment.
Even though when the allegation was placed on the Prophet of
Allaah, Hazrat Yoosuf (Salutation on him) then Almighty Allaah had
the confirmation of his sanctity proven by a child . And when the
allegation was placed on Hazrat Maryam Siddeeqah [Allaah be pleased
with her] then Almighty Allaah made Hazrat Ieesaa (Salutation on
him), who was at that time, a child in lap, gave the testimony [of her
sanctity]. When an allegation was placed on Hazrat Juraiej [Allaah
be pleased with him], the pious and the virtuous, then Almighty Allaah
made the child of few days of a shepherd give the testimony. But this
is the grandeur of Hazrat Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with her)
that Almighty Allaah is giving testimony Himself of her greatness
and excellence and increasing her elevated grandeur by Himself.
Even though if Almighty Allaah Willed then the leaves of the trees,
the particles of the sand of the ground, the drops of water of the
ocean and the animals would have also given the testimony.
Sareed is an Arabic dish which is prepared by soaking the bread in the gravy. In the worldly
life of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) Sareed was considered a very
superior dish amongst the Arabs.(T/N)

And sometimes on some issues she would discuss in detail and until
she was not satisfied, she would not leave the issue. Saiyyidah [Allaah () See the details of this in “Seerat-e-Aaishah Siddeeqah” writer Saiyyid Sulaiemaan Nadvi.

 Worship and Generosity
[Ibaadat aur Sakhaawat]
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah Siddeeqah (Allaah be
pleased with her) would worship excessively. She would keep fast very
often. (Ibne Sa’ad, vol-8, pg.68) And would do hajj every year. She was
very generous and bighearted. Hazrat Urwah (Allaah be pleased with him)
says that,
Undoubtedly, I saw that Ummul
Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah
(Allaah be pleased with her) distributed the
amount of seventy thousand [70,000]
in the way of Almighty Allaah. Even
though she herself would place patch
on the pocket of her shirt.

Hilyatul Auliyaa Abu Nu’aiem, vol-2, pg. 47,
Tabaqaat Ibne Sa’ad, vol-8, pg.53)
It is also narrated from him that Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah
Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) had sold the house in which she
lived in one hundred thousand [100000] in the hands of [to] Hazrat
Mu’aaviyyah (Allaah be pleased with him).
So Hazrat Mu’aaviyyah (Allaah be
pleased with him) send one lakh dirham
[100000] to Ummul Mu’mineen
Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah be
pleased with her). Pledge by Allaah, on
the same day before the dusk she had
distributed it all to the disables and
the needy. The maid said, that if one
[1] dirham from these dirhams would
have been kept, you would have
brought meat for us. Hazrat Aaishah
[Allaah be pleased with her] said, if you
would have said earlier than surely, I
would have kept one [1] dirham.

Hazrat Umme Zarrah (Allaah be pleased with her) says, that someone send
two pouches in which there were one hundred thousand [100000]
dirhams. Ummul Mu’mineen [Allaah be pleased with her] kept them in a
platter and on this day, she was fasting.
Thus, she started distributing them, at
the time of evening she did not even
have one dirham from these dirhams.
Then she said, bring Iftaari [food to
eat while opening the fast]. The maid
bought rottee [flat bread] and olive oil
and said, Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah
be pleased with her), could you not have
brought little amount of meat from
these dirhams for Iftaar? Ummul
Mu’mineen [Allaah be pleased with her]
said, do not say anything now, if you
would have reminded at that time then
surely, I would have brought .

Hazrat Abdur Rahmaan Bin Qaasim (Allaah be pleased with him) says
that a gift of a basket of grapes was presented to Ummul Mu’mineen
Hazrat Aaishah [Allaah be pleased with her]. The maid hid some from
Hazrat Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) and kept some from these
grapes. Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with her) distributed all
those grapes amid the people. In the night the maid placed those same
grapes [hidden] in front of the Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with
her). She said, what is this? The maid said, I had separated some from
them without telling you (Allaah be pleased with her). Ummul Mu’mineen
[Allaah be pleased with her] said, Pledge by Allaah, I will
not even eat one grape from them.
(Hilyatul Auliyaa vol-2, pg.48)

One day as usual Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah (Allaah
be pleased with her) was fasting and there was nothing in the house beside
one rottee [flat bread]. A beggar came at the door and pleaded. Ummul
Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with her) said to the maid, give this flatbread
to the beggar. The maid said, in the evening you will do Iftaari with
what? Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with her) said, you give this
now. The maid gave that to the beggar. When the evening approached
someone sent cooked meat of goat as a gift. Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah
be pleased with her) said to the maid,
Here take from this and eat, this is
better than your bread [flat bread]
(Almighty Allaah has sent it).
(Muwattaa Imaam Maalik #3655)
The count of freed slaves by Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah
Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) were sixty-seven [67]. At heart, she
had a lot of Fear and Awe of Allaah. Was deeply tender-hearted and
was extremely kind-hearted. Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with
her) departed on the 17th Ramadaan ul Mubaarak 58 Hijri, after the
Salaat of Witr in the night. Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with
her) had willed that bury me in the night, do not wait for the morning.
There was such a large crowd in her funeral that the people of Madinah
say that we have not seen the gathering of such a big crowd at night.
The funeral prayer was led by Hazrat Abu Huraierah (Allaah be pleased
with him). When Ummul Mu’mineen (Allaah be pleased with her) was buried
in Jannatul Baqee [graveyard] there was such a huge crowd of men
and women that as if it was the crowd of Eid. The people were crying
extremely bitterly as if the Day of Judgement has been established.
Hazrat Umme Salamah (Allaah be pleased with her) saw and said that the
Paradise is surely deserved by Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah
Aaishah (Allaah be pleased with her) since she is the beloved of the Holy
Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah’s (Allaah be pleased with
her) qualities and excellences are uncountable a glimpse of which you
have read in the above lines. Here the purpose is not to compare and
evaluate the qualities of Ummul Mu’mineen Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah
129
and Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa (Allaah be pleased with them). How
are we servants, worthy of this that we would be able to compare and
evaluate between these reverend souls. If one is the most Lakht-e-Jigar
[darling Daughter], and Noor-e-Nazar [the Luminance of the Eye], the
other one is the most beloved wife of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) in the world and the hereafter. Both of them are our
holy Mistresses and we are the ordinary servants of both of them. Our
aim is to present the gift of religious devotion and love in their highly
elevated court. If this gift is accepted and our resurrection would be
amid their sandal carriers then it is our auspiciousness.

To the Muslim Woman
Islaam is only that first religion which has corrected the condition of
women and has awarded her the status of honour otherwise before
Islaam the condition of women was very disreputable and tragic.
It is Islaam which has given the grade of equality to the women in
civilization.
The summary of the teaching of Islaam is this that the man and the
woman are the creation of one Creator and the masterpiece of the
making of one Divine Maker. Are the fruit of one fermentation and
are the progeny of one father, both are the part of humanity meaning
are the two branches of a kind. The existence of both is important for
the welfare and increase of the human race. Their birth, upbringing
and training is on the same principle and rule. On both the Huqooqul
Laah [the Right of Allaah] and Huqooqul Ibaad [the Right of people],
are mandatory. For both of them, there is reward and punishment for
goodness and piety and for evil and sin. Similarly!
There is no doubt in this that in accordance to personality and humanity
there is distinct similarity but where there is association of qualities,
habits, temperaments, intelligence, capabilities, rank and status there
is no similarity and equality according to nature, creation and physic.
In some matters, women have been given supremacy over the men and
on some matters, men have been given supremacy over the women so
that the balance and stability is maintained.
If the Creator of the Universe would have bestowed everyone similar
qualities, similar power, similar intelligence, similar wisdom, similar
capacity, similar beauty and elegance, similar knowledge and ability,
similar character and habits, similar wealth and riches, would have
made everyone with similar status and similar grade then no one would
have been in need of anyone and neither would have anyone worked for
anyone, then how would have this system of the Universe functioned?
Hence, He [Almighty Allaah] has bestowed different people different
qualities and separate powers so that the system of the Universe would
remain intact and everyone would do their own work.
132
According to this natural law, He has created different qualities between
men and women and have assigned them different responsibilities. And
have given Order that both of them should fulfill their responsibilities.
Now it is obvious that if each of them interferes in one another’s work
and responsibilities then it will be against the law of nature. By which
the system of the nature will be destroyed, and the society will be
devastated.
These days some people who are unaware of the Islaamic teachings
and are the adherents and lovers of the western culture and civilization,
are raising their voice against the law of nature that in every field the
woman should be equal to man. It is the result of the destructive
and wrong movement of these people that today some women are
disobeying the laws of nature by which on one side the special values
of woman are diminishing and on the other side there is devastating
effects on the society.
The men and women must remember this that since the nature has
born them for different objects and aims so their welfare is in this that
for which ever reason they have been created, and those special and
specific natural qualities and abilities they have been bestowed they
should use those only for those aims and objects. Everyone should
keep themselves in their own circle and should not go beyond it. A
woman should not try to be a man and a man should not try to be a
woman. It means they should not try to take the responsibilities of one
another on themselves otherwise they will be deprived of the natural
and creative qualities and they will lose their values and statuses. The
auspiciousness and the betterment of a man and woman is in this, that
they would live in their own circles, meaning a woman should remain
a woman and a man should be a man.
Sadly, the man and the woman are both being a victim of abnormal
condition in the way of life and are acquiring forbidden gains, from the
excellences and the specialties of the blessings of Nature.
133
An invite to reflect for the Muslim Woman
O Muslim Woman,
Almighty Allaah has bestowed upon you what a great status. Has
adorned you with the jewels of beauty and elegance, integrity
and chastity, modesty and shyness but today you have become
the adornment of the clubs and hotels. For the fulfillment of their
erroneous and cursed motives the lustful people have made you a toy.
The business minded people have made you a propaganda for their
products and an advertisement for selling and a trade.
O Muslim Woman,
Those who have ripped the veil of your modesty and humility, who
have made you a toy of their lustfulness, those who have made you
the adornment of the clubs and hotels, those who have made you the
means of selling their products, are not your well-wishers rather they
are your worst enemies. They have snatched your status and grade
from you. By throwing you from the status of reverence they have
thrown you in the hole of disrespect and have destroyed your life and
the hereafter.
O Muslim Woman,
Your dignity and honour is in this that you become the obedient of
Almighty Allaah and the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
And make the sacred conduct of Hazrat Saiyyidah Faatimah Zahraa,
Hazrat Saiyyidah Khadeejatul Kubraa, Hazrat Saiyyidah Aaishah
Siddeeqah (Allaah be pleased with them), the light of your path. Follow
their footsteps. Become a statue of modesty and humility, and a
persona of chastity and purity, knowledge and following. Do the
punctuality of Faraa’iz [religious mandatory orders] and Waajibaat
[obligations]. Adopt the Islaamic veil and gain respect in both the
worlds.
O Muslim Woman,
Attentively see what teachings have been given to you by your Creator
and the Owner Almighty Allaah and your Grand Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and follow them. Listen, Almighty Allaah says,
134
 And, (My Beloved Prophet) Order
the Muslim women to lower down
their gaze a little and guard their
chastity and do not see the (Ghaier
Mahram) and do the protection of
your chastity, and do not display
your beauty and adornment (on the
Ghaier Mahram)…..
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Noor, verse#31)
Because to see the unknowns and to show your beauty and
youthfulness and adornment to them is the root of fitnah [evil], and
Fasaad [mischief].
It has been stated,
And, stay in your houses and do not
make a display of your adornment
like was the custom in the olden days
of ignorance.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse
#33)
Meaning do not roam around showing your beauty and elegance,
adornment and decoration to the people. If you will do like this
then the glances of the people will rise towards you and from your
behaviour and ways the people will establish wrong thinking about
you. Moreover, those who are lustful by considering you wrong will
start following you. Therefore; it has been stated,
The giver of the news of unseen,
tell your wives, daughters and the
Muslim women that they should keep
a part of their head sheets covered
over their faces. This will be more
proper, that they may be recognized,
and they should not be molested.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse#59)
135
(That these are the veiled women) so do not tease them.
Meaning when by hiding their adornment and decoration, beauty and
elegance, makeup and getup etc., they will go out by becoming a
persona of modesty and humility. Then those who are seeing them
will come to know they are the women of the noble families. Whose
honour of respect is mandatory on every noble person. This way the
people will not tease them, and nor will they follow them and their
honour and chastity will remain intact.
The Qualities of the Morally
Decent Men and Women
Undoubtedly Muslim men and
Muslim women, all the believing
men and the believing women, and
the obedient men and the obedient
women, and the truthful men and
the truthful women, and the patient
men and the patient women, and
the humble men and the humble
women, and the charitable men and
the charitable women, the fasting
men and the fasting women, who
guard their chastity, and the men
who remember Allaah much and
the women who remember Allaah
much, for all of them Allaah has kept
prepared forgiveness and a great
reward.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter Al Ahzaab, verse#35)
It has been stated in another place,
Men are the guardian and caretaker
over women, because Allaah has
136
excelled men over the women and
because men spend out of their wealth
on the women. So, the virtuous
women are devotedly obedient and
guard themselves in the absence
of their husbands what Allaah has
commanded them to guard.
(Holy Qur’aan, chapter An Nisaa, verse#34)
137
The Sacred Ahaadees of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
Amongst the worldly possessions
there is nothing better than a virtuous
wife.
(Ibne Maajah Shareef #1855)
The best blessing amid the blessings
of the world is a virtuous wife.
(Nasaaee Shareef #5325)
When any person amid you would be
impressed by seeing the beauty of a
woman then he should go to his wife
because she also has the same things
which she [the other woman] has.
(Tirmizee Shareef #1158)
When the wife spends the night
separately without (reason) from
her husband then the angels curse
her until she returns towards the
(husband).
(Bukhaari Shareef #5194)
In the presence of the husband
a woman cannot keep Naflee
[voluntary] fasts without his
permission.
(Bukhaari Shareef #5192)
Undoubtedly Allaah has given you
excuse that you can come out of the
house in case of your needs.
(Bukhaari Shareef #5237)
138

When a woman goes out of her house
without the permission of her husband
then beside every angel of the sky
and Jinn and human, everything
which she passes send curses on her
until she does not return.
(Kashful Ghammah, Jaami’ul Ahaadees
#7406, Kanzul Ummaal #45096)
A woman who moves around
the people by being scented with
perfume and fragrance etc., so that
the people would get her smell she is
Zaaniyah [Adulteress].
(Nasaaee Shareef #9361)
It is not halaal [permissible] for any
Muslim woman that without Mahram
man she would do the journey of
even one night.
(Abu Daawood Shareef #1723)
Do not go to those women whose
husbands are not present because
in each one of you the Shaietaan
[Satan] revolves inside like blood.
Meaning, it does not take long for
him to mislead you.
(Tirmizee Shareef #1172)
When a man is alone near a woman
then surely the third is Shaietaan
[Satan] with them.
(Tirmizee Shareef #1171)
139
Be aware, avoid going to and from
near the women. A person inquired,
O Prophet of Allaah [Yaa Rasoolal
Laah Sallal Laahu Alaieka Wa Sallam],
what is your statement regarding the
Daiwar [younger brother of husband]
and Jaiet [elder brother of husband]?
He [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam] said
it is death.
(Bukhaari #5232, Muslim #2172-20)
Meaning to be in front of them is as if facing the death because
there is a lot of chance of fitnah [sin]. Because most of the people
do not observe veil in front of the Daiwar and Jaiet and there is also
lightheartedness and funniness etc., between them.
Whoever touches the hand of any
such woman with whom he does not
have lawful relation, on the day of
Judgement burning charcoal will be
placed on his hand.
(Fath ul Qadeer, vol-1, pg. 25)
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam)said, when a nail of iron is
nailed on the head of anyone of you,
this is better than he would touch
some woman who is not Halaal
[permitted] for him.
(Kanzul Ummaal #13065, Tibraani #486,
Baiehaqee #5072)
Nowadays we see astray, licentious and lustful men and women who
blindly follow the infidels. Among each other although even besides
being Ghaier Mahram [with whom Nikaah is permitted], by placing
their hands on the waists of each other, they dance and cuddle etc.,
hence; in the hereafter they are undoubtedly predisposed to extended
wrath and torment.
140
Hazrat Umme Salamah (Allaah be pleased with her) says that, me and
Maiemoonah both were present near the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) during this time Abdul Laah Ibne Umme Maktuum
(Allaah be pleased with him) who was a blind companion came in the
sacred presence of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
Thus the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said to both of us that
cover yourself from him [observe
Pardah]. Hazrat Umme Salamah
says I requested, O Prophet of Allaah
[Yaa Rasoolal Laah Sallal Laahu Alaieka
Wa Sallam] is he not blind? He will not
see us. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu
Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, “Are you also
blind will you also not see him.”
(Ahmad #26537, Tirmizee #2778, Abu
Daawood #4112)
Hazrat Abdul Laah Bin Abbaas (Allaah be pleased with him) says that,
Fazal Bin Abbaas was sitting behind
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa
Sallam) on an animal. A woman from
the Tribe [Qabielah] of Khas’am
came. Hazrat Fazal would look
towards that woman and that woman
would look towards him. Therefore;
the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) turned the face of Hazrat
Fazal towards the other side.
(Bukhaari Shareef #1513, Baiehaqee #7399,
Shu’abul Ieemaan # 7399)
It is proven from both these narrations that it is not permissible for a
woman to look towards a man and a man to look towards a woman.
141
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that the Curse of
Allaah be on the one who sees and
on the one on whom the glance has
been set.
(Mishkaat #3125, Shu’abul Ieemaan # 7399)
Meaning when the one who is seeing is looking without any reason
deliberately and the other one would without any reason deliberately
exposes himself.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that, any man should
not see the hidden part of another
man and neither should any woman
look at the hidden part of another
woman and neither should any man
sleep with another man naked under
one cloth and nor should any woman
sleep naked with another woman
under a cloth.
(Muslim Shareef #338-74)
Therefore it is stated,
The eyes do Zinaa [Adultery] and
their zinaa is to look, hands do
zinaa and their zinaa is to hold, feet
do zinaa and their zinaa is to go
walking, tongue does zinaa and its
zinaa is to talk, the zinaa of heart is
to desire and in the end the private
part confirms all this or denies it.
(Ibne Hibbaan #4419, Abu Daawood #2153,
Ahmad #7526, Baiehaqee #13511, Kanzul
Ummaal #13048, Tibraani Kabeer #8661)
142
 The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) has stopped from this, that
the woman would talk without the
permission of their husband.
(Tibraani Sagheer #852, Kanzul Ummaal
#45057)
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that, the person
who peeks in the house of others
without permission undoubtedly it is
permissible on those people that they
could burst his eyes.
(Muslim Shareef #2158-42)
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said that, those women who
will remain naked even after wearing
the clothes and those who attract
others on themselves and those
who will entice themselves towards
others their heads will be like pointed
hunch of the camels. And they will
not be entered into the Paradise and
neither will they smell its fragrance.
(Muslim Shareef #2128-125)
These days those women who wear see-through clothes by which the
body is transparent or wear half-naked dress by which the whole arm,
head, neck, half chest and waist etc., remains naked or wear such
tight clothes by which the complete shape of the body is prominent.
Also, those who make the hair of their head like the hump of the
camel, they should learn lesson from this saying of the Holy Prophet
(Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and should stop making their hair like
this and should not make themselves worthy of Hell.
Undoubtedly the Holy Prophet (Sallal
said that the
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam)
143
Curse of Allaah be on those who add
the hair of others in her own hair and
on those who get them added and
those who braid them and those who
get them braided.
(Bukhaari #5933, Muslim #2124-119)
In this narration those women have been called detested who
acquire artificial hair from the market etc. and get them added to
their own hair and pretend their hair to be long, also those who get
them braided. Also, those who get tattoos made with colour on their
faces, foreheads, or chins or on hands or on all these places (with a
machine) which stay on the skin forever.
Muslim woman should learn lesson from these sacred saying of the
Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) and save yourself from
being worthy of curse.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) said “Almighty Allaah’s
curse be on those men who try to look
like women and on those women,
who try to look like men.
(Bukhaari Shareef #5885)
Those girls of these days who are adopting the appearances of
men and those men who are adopting the appearance of women
undoubtedly, they are liable of this curse. May Almighty Allaah give
them guidance.
The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaiehi
Wa Sallam) has cursed those men who
wear womanly clothes and have
cursed those women who wear manly
clothes. Likewise, have also cursed
those women who wear manly shoes.
(Abu Daawood #4098)
144
The Islaamic teachings is, the woman and man should not adopt the
style of one another and it is very important to keep all those things
Bibliography
alive by which they are differentiated.
1 Holy Qur’aan The Words of Allaah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’aalaa
Surely the Orders of Almighty Allaah and the Holy Prophet (Sallal
Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam) are for us, and our betterment is in following 2 Tafseer Durr-e-Mansuur Allaamah Haafiz Jalaal-ud-Deen Suyootee
(1505)
them. In our current society, the evils which are being evolved and
those crimes which are being committed, the basis of them is the rebel 3 Bukhaari Shareef Imaam Muhammad Bin Ismaa’eel Bukhaari
from the nature and diversion from the Orders of Almighty Allaah. (256 H)
Therefore, the complaints of resentment and tension is increasing.
Any department, Institute, Tanzeem [organization], Jamaa’at [group] 4 Muslim Shareef Imaam Muslim Bin Hajjaaj Qushaieri (261 H)
society and country cannot be successful, nor can it advance until it 5 Tirmizee Shareef Imaam Abu Ieesaa Muhammad Bin Ieesaa
does not follow the regulation of rules and guidelines. By disobeying Tirmizee (279 H)
Islaamic rules and regulation maybe we can do the arrangement of
our false satisfaction and contentment, but we cannot attain success 6 Abu Daawood Shareef Imaam Abu Daawood Sulaiemaan Bin Ash’as
and advancement. Only to read Kalimah, is not being a Muslim but (275 H)
after reading this Kalimah, we must become the adherent to Almighty 7 Ibne Maajah Shareef Imaam Ibne Maajah Abu Abdul Laah
Allaah and His Beloved Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam]. Muhammad Bin Yazeed (273 H)
The ones who do not consider like this or do not follow the Book or
the Sunnah surely they are not honest in their religious claims. May 8 Nasaaee Shareef Imaam Nasaaee Abu Abdur Rahmaan Ahmad
